IMHO the bug reported in #396537 some 2 years ago doesn't apply any more.
I've followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/mailman/README.Exim4.Debian
but they are - as far as I can see - bogus as well.
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.
Considered, that Exim4 is still Debian's default MTA, would it be
possible to ship mailman in lenny with all the confusion removed
from the README? Possibly even a setup that corresponds 1:1 to
Nigel's in order to be in sync with upstream's idea how to run
things?
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.
All right, I stand corrected. However, what is not described in the README
is what should go into the MAILMAN_HOME/data/aliases File? How does it
look like? Could you describe that?
(I do not understand how the condition line finds out that to which domain
a list belongs to)
If you want I can help you in trying to get to howto updated.
