[Mailman-Users] Mailman + Fetchmail +Amavis +Spamassassin

[John DeCarlo]

Kevin,

1.  Generally speaking, the MTA (in your case, Exim), does not do 
anything related to Mailman except direct incoming mail to Mailman for 
processing.  This is where the MTA aliases come into play.

I suppose it might be possible for Exim to see a "subscribe" message and 
send it to the appropriate listname-request address locally.  Especially 
since you have only one list you are maintaining.  I am sure you could 
get Exim to send the message two places:  local user account so you can 
read and double check, and the reseller-request Mailman account so that 
Mailman can process the subscription request.

2.  You definitely have to send commands to Mailman the right way, if 
you want Mailman to process them.

There are, of course, a million ways to jury rig a system to work the 
way you want it, but I wouldn't recommend it.  Far better to have 
Mailman handle subscribe messages the documented way.
