Okay, I did this, and fixed the 12 errors it found, that I am (fairly!)
certain that I ran this after install. Doh!

This has always worked, even before I made any permission changes.

bash$ exim -bt abc@???
abc@???
~ router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport

I am probably baring my ignorance here, but...

lists.fmonkey.net *is* in local_domains, but I do *not* have an MX
record defined for it. I was under the impression (apparantly falsely)
that MX records were only required for domains, not hosts. I suppose in
some sense that's a semantics issue, but I assumed since
lists.fmonkey.net actually resolved to an IP, and the mail server was
set up to accept mail for that host, that I didn't need an MX record.
Is that false?
