[gentoo-user] OT - Need help setting up mailman to work with exim

[Michael Sullivan]

What do I need to do to set up mailman to work with
exim?  I have a test list called phantom that I tried
to send a test message to from
michael@espersunited.com:  

exim_main.log:2007-05-11 11:47:37
H=adsl-70-234-122-248.dsl.tul2ok.sbcglobal.net
(baby.espersunited.com) [70.234.122.248] sender verify
fail for <phantom-bounces@bullet.espersunited.com>:
Unrouteable address

I don't know where it's getting
bullet.espersunited.com from; bullet's not even hooked
up anymore.  Can anyone help me?  If I can't get this
working, I'll have to go back to sendmail, which I
know it works with...

I use Postfix and it plays nice with Mailman.  I'd highly recommend it!

as you didn't post the relevant parts of your exim.conf I guess that you
didn't read the notes in the compile process of mailman. There you'd
have had the possibility to copy & paste the mailman-concerning entries
for the exim.conf, which I post as quotation below:

The integration works flawless and you don't have to fiddle around with
/etc/mail/aliases as you're supposed to with postfix and sendmail. Just
give exim the domains mailman is concerned with (very easy to set up
virtual domains with that) and it will figure out if the address is
concerned with a list or not.

I thought that I would simply have to change the FQDM in one place in
mailman's configuration to change it for all lists universally, but I
guess I was wrong.  It works now.
