Hi

Don't if I should be asking this question here but I'll try anyway. I suppose I should ask on the Exim list but I'm not sure about Mailman configuration. I've read a lot of web pages about configuration and searched a lot with Google. I'm not getting there.

I'm setting up a Mailman list to run with Exim4. Debian Squeeze. In /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py I've set these extra parameters....

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'list.domain.org' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.domain.org' MTA=None DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

Is this correct ? Do I need to add something else.

Sending mail with ....echo "This is a test." | mail -s Testing richard.ibbotson@gmail.com - works for me. Mail arrives at my Gmail account. Mail arrives from - root@hostname.domain.org

My Exim4 conf file looks like this... /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet' dc_other_hostnames='hostname.domain.org; hostname; localhost.localdomain; localhost' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1' dc_readhost='' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='' dc_smarthost='' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='false' dc_hide_mailname='' dc_mailname_in_oh='true' dc_localdelivery='maildir_home'

DNS looks good. Firewall ports opened for www and smtp and pop3. The Exim4 /var/log/exim4/mainlog looks like this...

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong here ?
