The problem there is that I think that is handled.
haven:~# grep sympa /etc/group
sympa:x:1002:Debian-exim:mail

Since I use Initgroup = yes, should not Exim assume the group Sympa as well?

Yes, I have been thinking in those lines myself.
BUT: Why do I need "no_verify"? Can I not just use "Condition =
lsearch......"?

But, I suppose the question here is: Why does it appear that "Initgroup"
doesn't do what I think the manual says it will do?
