I had the pleasure of spending 2 hours getting mailman to work. : P I didn't find anything in the archives on my specific problem, so I'm posting the fix.

Package: exim
Version: 2.05-1

Package: mailman Version: 1.0rc1-1 This version does not include the INSTALL file. : O

If your exim is setup with good relay controls (aka CORRECTLY!) all resends will get rejected with the error:

1999-05-31 00:07:13 unqualified recipient rejected: <root> H=localhost (schizo.psychosis.com) [127.0.0.1] (list)

You must edit /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py (/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/) and set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = 1.

In /etc/exim.conf add this below 'system_aliases:'

mailman_aliases: driver = aliasfile; file = /etc/exim.aliases.mailman, search_type = lsearch user = list

The debian package defaults mailman to the user 'list'. With the above you shoudl put mailman aliases in /etc/exim.aliases.mailman
