Hi All,

I am a newbie to Exim, so I apologise profusely if this is superfluous.
I looked through the archives, but couldn't find anything relevant to
my problem.

I am running the latest version of Exim and mailman on a Linux
machine, and I cannot get the two of them to work. I have been
trying for quite some time now, to no avail. I kludged Majordomo
into functionality, but I do not want to use Majordomo.

The problem is basically that whenever I send messages to the list,
they simply end up in a black hole. The Exim mainlog indicates only
that a normal transaction has occured, and mailman logs don't contain
anything at all. This is with the default configuration of Exim,
with no special directives for mailman as per README.EXIM:

README.EXIM isn't very intuitive. I tried copying the directors
listed into my Exim configuration file, but that doesn't seem to
change anything. Furthermore, I do not understand how to get Exim
do actually *use* these directors - just defining them doesn't seem
to do it. But I have little experience with Exim to the degree
where I can actually hack around those.


Any help would be appreciated.
