router/aliasing problems with exim4?
I have a problem sending emails to and from mailman lists. I think the problem is with the router setting, or perhaps with mailman not creating aliases for the lists.
Mailman is installed and its website loads fine. I can manage, add lists, and do other admin tasks However, when I try to send an email to test@lists.host.org I get an error. If I send an email to user@lists.hosts.org email works fine. I can send and receive emails as a user, but not as a list.
Is there a log that I can use/monitor to trouble shoot this?
This is my router setting:
begin routers
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

Aliases (for lists) aren't always needed.

what are the dns records (particularly mx records) against "lists.host.org".

your exim logs, and your mailman logs may be a good starting point.
This is my router setting:
begin routers
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
is there a transport set-up too?
Have you defined mm_domains and MM_LISTCHK?

Exim logs and other Exim tools like 'exim -bt'
This is my router setting:
begin routers
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
And your mailman_transport and other definitions? See <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html>
