It means that neither the filter nor the transport specified which uid
to run the program as.

You have 2 choices for correcting that.

1)  put
        system_filter_user = <pick a user>
    in the global section of the config

2)  put
        user = <pick a user>
    in the 'address_pipe' transport

I think the former is a better choice for you since the address_pipe
transport is likely used by other pipe-generating parts of the system
and you don't want them to obtain access to the user you're running
sympa as.
