Hi debugitu, Thanks for the bug report. At first, the sympa_aliases and sympa_aliases.db files didn't look properly set to me. sympa_aliases should be owned by user sympa and group sympa with perms 644. sympa_aliases.db should be owned by user sympa and group root with perms 664. Just curious, is that a fresh installation of sympa ? Anyway, this is not the root cause of the issue. File locking has been modified by upstream. The easiest workaround is probably to 'chown sympa:sympa /var/lib/sympa' as you already discovered. I'll discuss this with upstream. Regards, Xavier Soji, this looks related to commit 391591c05 (and possibly bfa876ecb). This is a fresh installation with following the instructions in the documentation: https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/install/configure-mail-server-sendmail.html Concerning the permission on the file /var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases, I just followed the instruction found at step number 4: touch $SENDMAIL_ALIASES chmod 640 $SENDMAIL_ALIASES chown sympa:sympa $SENDMAIL_ALIASES Concerning the ownership of /var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases.db, I set it by my own, according the most restrictive permission still functioning to avoid newaliases errors, based on: ls -lL /usr/bin/newaliases -rwxr-sr-x. 1 root smmsp 836936 Aug 3 2017 /usr/bin/newaliases Excellent support, many thanks! Sorry, the .db file permission is matching the permission of the system's standard alias file: ls -l /etc/aliases.db /var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases.db -rw-r-----. 1 root smmsp 12288 Oct 14 16:28 /etc/aliases.db -rw-r-----. 1 root smmsp 12288 Oct 14 16:28 /var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases.db I was referring to the owner/group/perms on the sympa_aliases{,.db} files as set by the rpm on initial install. It shouldn't be necessary to tweak them to get a working sympa install (except for the /var/lib/sympa perms issue related to the relocation of the lock file). However, changing from root to smmsp for the .db group might be something to look at.
