You need to pass more option to %configure to have the files installed in the
proper location. Take a look at the sympa install doc. (--enable-fhs,
--with-defaultdir, etc...)

You must use macros in the %files section.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPMMacros

The NVR (name-version-release) in changelog entries must match the actual NVR
defined with Name: Version: Release tags.

The apache conf, log rotate conf, etc... are not provided in the tarball, but
you need to add them to get a fully functional software. The provided
initscripts are also not matching the fedora guidelines (default to enabled, no
reload target iirc) I ended replacing them. You need to create a sympa user to
run all the scripts. You need to create an additional mail alias file, etc...
You really should take a look at the specfile and srpm I'm linking in my first
comment. It is based on an older version of sympa and still far from perfect,
but it will help you get a better idea of what is needed to get both a
functional software and a specfile/srpm matching the Fedora guidelines.
