Another way of doing this is to have two versions of exim running. One is a
'normal' one which deals with incoming mail and normal outgoing mail but the
list software outputs to a second version with its own configuration. Only the
second mailer needs to have access to the list aliases. All incoming SMTP
connections go to the primary MTA.
