I don't know how you are routing and delivering Mailman's incoming mail in Exim, but you are apparently not following the recommended method described at <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html>. If you rely on data/virtual-mailman, you need to have the following in mm_cfg.py. MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [..., 'maybe.artfulrobot.com'] where ... is your other list email domain(s) that you presumably had since it was working. >I've read lots of postings, docs etc. but gotten nowhere. I've tried >fiddling with /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py, adding things like: > >MTA=None (and MTA='None') It's MTA = None, not 'None', but as I said above you want MTA = 'Postfix'. >add_virtualhost('maybe.artfulrobot.com','maybe.artfulrobot.com' ) This should be add_virtualhost('artfulrobot.com', 'maybe.artfulrobot.com') unless you already have another add_virtualhost with artfulrobot.com (or DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'artfulrobot.com') as the url host. If that is the case, it is probably best to omit this add_virtualhost and have VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off instead. >POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [ 'artfulrobot.com', >'maybe.artfulrobot.com'] And you do want this. >Each change I've restarted MM. Tried and got the unrouteable error again. Because restarting Mailman doesn't change anything. You need to run Mailman's bin/genaliases to rebuild virtual-mailman after adding 'maybe.artfulrobot.com' to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.
