The post-install script for the RPM contains these commands:
chown sympa.sympa /etc/mail/sympa_aliases
chmod 0640 /etc/mail/sympa_aliases
Regardless of what group the sympa user belongs to, I still have to
"chgrp exim /etc/mail/sympa_aliases" after installing it for Exim to be
able to read the file when it's verifying addresses. No, I don't
install it _that_ often, but it's a pain to have to remember all these
extra steps when I do.
