Yes, that would be an Exim config problem.

And what about server.windfinder.com? And did you add it to
local_domains?

The above is incomplete. It is not the cause of your problem, but see
<http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html#roconf> for what the
mailman_router: should be. In particular, the above is missing
-confirm, -subscribe and -unsubscribe in local_part_suffix and is
missing
domains = +MAILMAN_DOMAINS to prevent mail to an address that looks
like a list but in another domain from being delivered to the list.
