I test it, but i get Unknown User from outside again.

But i think, i understand the exim configure in the wrong way. I think
in the
way i have to configure smail earlier.

I defined:

listforward:
driver = redirect
file = /usr/exim/lists/$local_part
no_verify
check_ancestor
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply

for the list, than the default userforward

userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply

In my mind that means, that first the router "listforward" will
checked. There is no "check_local_user" defined and i thought, that it
than dont check of the existing the local user. And if i sending a
local mail, it dont check it.

In the ACL i use the default acl_check_rcpt (acl_smtp_rcpt =
acl_check_rcpt). But i dont see there anything, that can be have the
effect, the a mail to a list from inside works, but a mail to a list
from outside works.

Whats my mistake in thinking about the exim configuration way ?
