My kludges don't care about subdomains/"list only" domains.

IMO, life's waaay too short to genaliases. the configs in
Nigel's doc makes that a thing of the past (it's probably worth
noting, I am a lazy sysadmin, and i automate as much as possible, and
just couldn't make sense of Postfix when i inherited a box with
postfix as its MTA: that got changed).

that 404's for me: have you got the Mailman Apache stanzas set-up in
lists.linuxgazette.net's vhost config? I've not had issues using
ServerAlias directives, fwiw.

You may need a 'clear' clause before the line below: search the

I'd change that, as you're using Exim.
