Subject: [exim] domain alias vs mailman list
I host several virtual domains on my machine. Two of them have both
mailman lists and the aliases 'officers@???' and
'officers@???'. This has been working well.

I recently added another domain with the regular mailman list and then,
rather than using an alias, I set up a mailman list 'officers'. Now when
an email is sent to 'officers@???' it is sent to the mailman
list for the new domain instead of using the alias.

Do I have something setup wrong? How do I correct it? Is it a sequencing
problem? Should the config check for aliases before it checks for
mailman lists? What config option controls that?

'exim4 -bt' gives:

    router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport


'exim4 -bV' gives:
