Configure Sympa: Command output usage error

Question

I have a problem on configuring Sympa.

I've created a new list new_test_list@example.com, but when I try to send mail to this list, I get an error in my maillog:

postfix/pipe[13544]: C699261227: to=new_test_list@example.com, relay=sympa, delay=0.33, delays=0.31/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /home/sympa/bin/queue: usage error, one one list-name argument expected. ).

Can anybody tell me what command argument Sympa needs?

I have configured /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf. Every member that subscribed to this mailing list gets mail.

In /home/sympa/etc/sympa_aliases I have records about new lists:

new_test_list: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue new_test_list@example.com"
new_test_list-request: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue new_test_list-request@example.com"
new_test_list-editor: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue new_test_list-editor@example.com"
new_test_list-unsubscribe: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue new_test_list-unsubscribe@example.com"
new_test_list-owner: "| /home/sympa/bin/bouncequeue new_test_list@example.com"

Please post the output of `postconf -n` and `grep C699261227 mail.log` — masegaloeh, Mar 19 '15 at 06:17
I've posted the output of this commands in my question, because I have a limit of characters in comment. — user265247, Mar 21 '15 at 15:32
what's the content of `/home/sympa/etc/transport_regexp` and `master.cf`? Please post it in the question — masegaloeh, Mar 21 '15 at 15:42
Do you need all output of master.cf or only that I've added for Sympa? — user265247, Mar 21 '15 at 17:23
Are you sure the lines in `transport_regexp` is `/^.*\@lists\\.example\\.com$/ sympa:` not `/^.*\@lists\.example\.com$/ sympa:`??? — masegaloeh, Mar 23 '15 at 07:26
line in transport_regexp is: /^.*\@lists\.example\.com$/ sympa: Sorry, when I typed this message, it is seen with one "\". — user265247, Mar 23 '15 at 09:25
Good. Can you try the little experiment in my answer below? `queue` program only [expect 1 or 2 parameter](http://www.sympa.org/distribution/current/src/queue.c). — masegaloeh, Mar 23 '15 at 09:45
Yes, This line from my maillog: C9B8661C20: to=, relay=sympa, delay=0.33, delays=0.31/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2: "/tmp/printargs.sh". Command output: args: new_test_list@lists.example.com ) — user265247, Mar 23 '15 at 11:27
Hmm it's expected result. If you send email to new_test_list, did you still get same error as before (sympa argument error)? — masegaloeh, Mar 23 '15 at 11:51
It's work after your test. Magic. Thank you very much! Do you know what happened? — user265247, Mar 23 '15 at 12:02
Dunno, maybe you don't restart postfix after adding transport_maps. Maybe there are typo in your master.cf, especially in sympa service. Anyway congratulations — masegaloeh, Mar 23 '15 at 12:20
Even though this question is already over a year old - there is also a bug in the main.cf on relay_domains = $mydestination, lists.examle.com - just in case someone copies the content ... — Yosh, Mar 17 '16 at 10:28

I've tried to reproduce your case, but I wasn't successful.

Based on your maillog lines

Mar 18 20:05:52 ns1 postfix/pipe[13544]: C699261227: to=new_test_list@lists.example.com, relay=sympa, delay=0.33, delays=0.31/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /home/sympa/bin/queue: usage error, one one list-name argument expected. )

Postfix piped email to /home/sympa/bin/queue because of transport_maps parameter instead /home/sympa/etc/sympa_aliases.

To debug further you can do this step

Create file /tmp/printargs.sh with content
```
#!/bin/sh
echo "args: $@"
exit 2
```
it will echo all arguments.

Set appropriate permission

chown sympa /tmp/printargs.sh
chmod u+x /tmp/printargs.sh

Change master.cf entry with

sympa   unix    -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=R user=sympa argv=/tmp/printargs.sh ${recipient}

Restart postfix and see the maillog entry. In my case, it would output

Mar 23 03:23:38 sy postfix/pipe[1702]: 914A04042B: to=<kkk@sympa.example.net>, relay=sympa, delay=0.06, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2: "/tmp/printargs.sh". Command output: args: kkk@sympa.example.net )
