Subject: [Exim] Problem with Exim + Mailman + DNS
Hi Folks!

I've a problem with Exim + Mailman + DNS. I use Exim 3.32 + MailMan 2.0.8.

When I send a mail to the host the host part is rewrited and I got unknown
local-part.

If the host is defined using a CNAME record, I got on the Exim server:
unknown local-part.
And The real host part is replaced with the name of the primary host.

If I use an A record to define the host, the system works.

Localy, if I use: exim -d 9 -bt test@???, all is fine.

I try to figure the problem and to solve it. For best management, I would
like to use CNAME instead of A records.
