I meant I tried to subscribe the user to the list using mutt.

I found out that mutt wasn't setting up the From: field to a correct address, making 
the mail being rejected.
I now solved the problem but the forwarding still doesn't appear to work.

I sent a standalone mail to jerome-ext at 15h39 and it worked.
I sent a mail to a mailing list jerome-ext is subscribed at 15:15, and the mail never 
arrived to the external address.
I guess it is because forwarding is not applied when mail sent through a list.

That's why I cannot see anything in the James james-xxx.log:

I remember now having this problem some time ago. But I couldn't find the thread in 
the archives.
How do I manage to forward the mail for a specific user to an external address, when 
this mail is delivered throught a mailing list?

Am I obliged to create a script with a procmail or something similar? the jerome-ext 
user doesn't exist on the system so it is not practical if I have to do that for every 
user.
