Using a command in the configuration file is really awkward, but we didn't find
a better way to do that as Sympa doesn't
support inclusion of other files in the configuration step.
In this case the head command might not be in the path Sympa is seeing. Could
you please test if
`/usr/bin/head ...` works for you?
