Yeah, sorry about that. I *think* mailman-developers also has a
hold-posts-from-non-members bit set, so either way it's a PITA for
someone. ;-(

Good point -- I'll send Barry the patch.

From the comments (Marc's?) in the previous README.EXIM, I think the
rationale for having two routers (directors) was to accomodate lists
named eg. 'foo-owner'. On reflection, I realize this is only a problem
if you *also* have a list named 'foo' -- and that combination is just
doomed to fail with *any* MTA configuration. One router (director) it
is.
