Package: sympa
Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4
Severity: normal

Hi!

Looking at /etc/aliases, I have

#-- SYMPA begin
## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager
sympa:          "|/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa"
sympa-request:  postmaster
sympa-owner:    postmaster
listmaster:     postmaster
#-- SYMPA end

Looking at /etc/mail/sympa.aliases

#-- SYMPA begin
## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager
sympa: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa at foobar.com"
listmaster: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue listmaster at foobar.com"
# The alias bounce+* is dedicated to collect bounces. It is useful only
# if 
# at least one list uses  welcome_return_path unique  or  
# remind_return_path unique
bounce+*: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue sympa at foobar.com"
sympa-request: postmaster
sympa-owner: postmaster


Why are there duplicated entries for sympa, listmaster, sympa-request
and sympa-owner? Which of those are supposed to be the correct ones?

Michael
