There are two parts to this. First, the way Exim is integrated with MM2, there's no need for alias file hacking because Exim can autodetect which mailing lists are available by looking at the config.pck files. Of course, there are no config.pck files in MM3 any more, so a new strategy is needed.
So to make this more generic:-
- how can an external process detect configured lists?
- preferably in a relatively non-active fashion - ie looking at the filesystem
- if needed by running something to say if list x exists
- what addresses does a list provide (ie list-request etc)
- or is there a way of getting mailman to list all the addresses that mailman handles (ideally including domain)
Second, the preferred way to get messages into MM3 is via LMTP, so ideally, there'd be some configuration to get Exim to connect to MM3's LMTP server.
That should be pretty easy.
It would be great to have better Exim (and Sendmail, qmail, or any other MTA) support in MM3. Let us know if you're willing and able to help!
Can't do a great deal on this, but willing to heckle, umm, give some advice from the sidelines. The exim.org machine is moving to a more modern platform later in the year so we may be in a position to realistically look at hosting a MM3 install then.
