Hi,

I'm having trouble getting mailman to work correctly on my exim 
installation. I'm new to both, unfortunately (I was previously using 
qmail and ezmlm). I'm using the Debian/Etch packages for exim 4.63-17 
and mailman 2.1.9-7.

Essentially, my problem is that mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are being 
treated as mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the messages are being held for 
approval as if they were normal posts from non-subscribers.

I've got vdom_aliases and vdom_aliases_suffix routers configured, as 
described in one of the follow-up comments on this page: 
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/140. I need this, because 
I want all "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" emails to be sent to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], as they were under qmail.

I've also followed the instructions in Debian's 
/usr/share/doc/mailman/README.Exim4.Debian file, giving me 
mailman_router, mailman_workaround and mailman_transport.

I've tried searching google and the exim and mailman mailing lists for a 
hint, but my search-fu is obviously weak today.

The /etc/exim4/virtual/domain.org file contains the following line 
(among others):
list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this what's causing the problem? Do I need to list all possible 
variants of mailman suffixes in this file? How do I cope with VERP and 
bounces? Without this alias, none of the list email gets delivered.

In short, what have I missed in my exim configuration that'll preserve 
the full address until mailman gets to see it?

Note that I'm not particularly bothered about the fact that mailman 
can't have same-named lists on different virtual domains.

Regards,
Roger.
