[Mailman-Users] Debian/Exim4/Mailman

[Nicolas Neuss]

Hello,

I have now found the problem: the file virtual-mailman was not updated
correctly (I don't know why) when creating a new list.  Only the lines for
the "testit" mailing list were in this file (maybe from earlier trials?).
Putting there the lines for recognizing "mylist" by hand made everything
work.

Thanks, Nicolas
