The address in X-Mailing-List is not a valid RFC 822 address. Thus your
call to "foranyaddress" won't work. Hmm. I see that Exim just ignores
bad addresses. Perhaps it should grumble and defer delivery, but I think
I didn't make it do that because so many messages have utter junk in
their headers. See if

X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/6194 <debian-policy@???>

works. That's RFC 822 compliant.
