Apparently my mailing lists are still not working correctly. I get local delivery ok, but not remotes. First I left 'domains =' blank, then changed it to the literal 'lists.ref.book' contained in the exim specification example, listing that reference in the 'local_domains' config option. After first using 'errors_to = richsob', a local address, I also changed that to the styling shown in the example
I include the relevant parts of exim-conf, and with apologies, the output of exim -d9 -t <subs where subs is the letter with headers contained therein including a 'Bcc: freenewsletter' which references a file, /etc/exim/lists/freenewsletter, containing of list of 30-odd addresses
To my eye, the list is not expanding and instead an attempt is made to deliver mail to freenewsletter@???
As a minor aside, I would also like to change 'sender' to same address as 'From:'. I thought from the documentation that where a 'From:' is provided, this address would be used, which is what I am trying to do
Appreciate any help
