Comment 1 Xavier Bachelot 2020-06-11 09:05:19 UTC 
This needs to be configured in /etc/sysconfig/sympa, as hinted by the "EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/sympa" just below the one you pointed out.
Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2020-06-11 09:07:12 UTC 
Just a note, I'm working to get rid off of spawn-fcgi in favor of systemd managed sockets.
This will make this work out of the box, without that tweak.

I see. Thank you. 
However nginx user should not be mentioned in -httpd package.
Comment 4 Xavier Bachelot 2020-06-11 09:16:08 UTC 
nginx user is not mentioned in -httpd package.
The unit file is from the main package.

rpm doesn't think so :)

[root@localhost sympa]# rpm -ql sympa-httpd

Comment 6 Xavier Bachelot 2020-06-11 09:27:41 UTC 
Right you are, sorry :-)
However, the same unit files for wwsympa and sympasoap are distributed in all of -nginx, -httpd, -lighttpd.
I can't think of any other way to do this.
Beside finishing up the work to make use of systemd sockets, which will replace the need to tweak /etc/sysconfig/sympa by an unit file override from the webserver sub-packages.
Comment 7 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:30:43 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
