Mark,

That was it! The <; did it. Thank you very much for the support. I am temtped to write up a tutorial on how to do this since I already have everything documented I have gone through. The mailman docs are outdated.

Thanks so much!!

I would like to inquire whether or not anyone has successfully setup multiple installations of mailman-2.1.9 and exim4 on the same server. If you have would it be possible to see a copy of your exim.conf? I have tried everything I can think of and believe I have run up against some issues I cannot get around.

Anyone have this actually working?

Yes, I played with it and I got it working in a limited test environment.

Here's the issue. The instruction at <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html#virdom> is wrong! The problem is that some stuff is defined in one or more macros with doubled colons, but the colons only need to be doubled in one of the places where the macros are used and not in others. This is because one of the places where the macros are used is a list, and the default list delimiter is ':' so other colons have to be doubled in lists only.

The solution is to define the macros with single colons and to change the list delimiter in the line that uses a list argument (only require_files).

i.e.

MM_UID=mailman MM_GID=mailman MM_HOME=/virtual/${lc:$domain}/mailman MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.pck

mailman_router: driver = accept domains = +mm_domains require_files = <; MM_LISTCHK local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -admin :
-bounces : -bounces+* :
-confirm : -confirm+* :
-join : -leave :
-owner : -request :
-subscribe : -unsubscribe transport = mailman_transport

mailman_transport: driver = pipe command = MM_WRAP
'${if def:local_part_suffix
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}}
{post}}'
$local_part current_directory = MM_HOME home_directory = MM_HOME user = MM_UID group = MM_GID

Alternatively, instead of

require_files = <; MM_LISTCHK

I think you could have

require_files = MM_LISTCHK

if you had

MM_LISTCHK=<; MM_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.pck

where MM_HOME also has a single colon, although I didn't test that.
