Hi,
I'm having trouble getting mailman to work correctly on my exim
installation. I'm new to both, unfortunately (I was previously using
qmail and ezmlm). I'm using the Debian/Etch packages for exim 4.63-17
and mailman 2.1.9-7.
Essentially, my problem is that mails to list-join@??? are being
treated as mails to list@???, and the messages are being held for
approval as if they were normal posts from non-subscribers.
I've got vdom_aliases and vdom_aliases_suffix routers configured, as
described in one of the follow-up comments on this page:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/140. I need this, because
I want all "user-suffix@???" emails to be sent to
user@???, as they were under qmail.
I've also followed the instructions in Debian's
/usr/share/doc/mailman/README.Exim4.Debian file, giving me
mailman_router, mailman_workaround and mailman_transport.
I've tried searching google and the exim and mailman mailing lists for a
hint, but my search-fu is obviously weak today.
The /etc/exim4/virtual/domain.org file contains the following line
(among others):
list: list@???
Is this what's causing the problem? Do I need to list all possible
variants of mailman suffixes in this file? How do I cope with VERP and
bounces? Without this alias, none of the list email gets delivered.
In short, what have I missed in my exim configuration that'll preserve
the full address until mailman gets to see it?
Note that I'm not particularly bothered about the fact that mailman
can't have same-named lists on different virtual domains.
Regards,
Roger.
