Yes, but. For small lists exim does great.
For those with brave hearts, here is a snip from my config. All the
capitalised stuff are macros for extracting things from an external file and
looking up the validity of addresses:
list:
driver = forwardfile
# transport = list_smtp
domains = LOCALDOMAINS
require_files = LOOKUP_ACCOUNT:LOOKUP_LISTFILE
qualify_preserve_domain
# one_time
# forbid_file
# forbid_pipe
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
no_check_local_user
no_freeze_missing_include
skip_syntax_errors
syntax_errors_to = "List Owner <$local_part-owner@$domain>"
errors_to = "List Owner <$local_part-owner@$domain>"
senders = "${if ={1}{LIST_CLOSED} {\
lsearch;LOOKUP_LISTDIR/$local_part \
${if exists{LOOKUP_LISTDIR/${local_part}-digest} \
{: lsearch;LOOKUP_LISTDIR/${local_part}-digest}} \
${if exists{LOOKUP_LISTDIR/${local_part}-post} \
{: lsearch;LOOKUP_LISTDIR/${local_part}-post}} \
${if exists{LOOKUP_LISTDIR/all-post} \
{: lsearch;LOOKUP_LISTDIR/all-post}} \
} {*}}"
headers_remove =
"subject:reply-to:return-receipt-to:disposition-notification-to:precedence"
headers_add = "\
Subject: ${if !match{$h_subject:}{${rxquote:LIST_SUBJPRE}}
{LIST_SUBJPRE $h_subject:}{$h_subject:}}\n\
${if ={1}{LIST_REPLYTO} {Reply-To: $local_part@$domain}{Reply-To:
$sende
r_address}}\n\
Sender: ${local_part}-owner@$domain\n\
Precedence: bulk\n\
"
file = LOOKUP_LISTDIR/$local_part
user = LOOKUP_ACCOUNT
group = LOOKUP_ACCOUNT
I am a nasty person. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
