The setup you describe does not play well with multiple virtual email
domains. It will - as far as Exim is concerned - put every mailing
list in every domain, which will lead to errors in mailman (unless you
configure [EMAIL PROTECTED] as aliases for the list in every list
for each virtual domain served by that Exim.

The whole MTA='Postfix', "condition" lines, etc are for handling
virtual domains correctly.

Indeed, if your exim serves one domain only, your / Nigel's simplified
setup will work just as well.

I'm rather of the opinion the virtual-domain-correct setup should be
the one advocated by upstream. I keep procrastinating in sending it to
them... Bad of me.
