[Mailman-Users] exim says 'unrouteable' on new list

[Rich Lott]

Hi

I have exim4 and mailman running successfully on my server. I have a 
working list that runs at somelistname at artfulrobot.com and a working web 
admin iface. All good.

But now I want to set up a new list under a subdomain for another 
client. This list name does not clash with my other list, and it is does 
not clash with a username on the server.

I set it up with this command

$ newlist -e maybe.artfulrobot.com -u artfulrobot.com community

I used the web iface to mass subscribe my own email address, and I got a 
"welcome" message. But when I try to send to the list, it bounces back.

Nb. I can email someotheruser at maybe.artfulrobot.com and receive it at 
someotheruser's normal user account.

I looked at the output from this command:
$ exim4 -d -bt community at maybe.artfulrobot.com

to see why it was failing. Output below.

Basically, it seems that mm has not registered 
community at maybe.artfulrobot.com in data/virtual-mailman.

I've read lots of postings, docs etc. but gotten nowhere. I've tried 
fiddling with /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py, adding things like:

MTA=None (and MTA='None')

add_virtualhost('maybe.artfulrobot.com','maybe.artfulrobot.com' )

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [ 'artfulrobot.com', 
'maybe.artfulrobot.com']

Each change I've restarted MM. Tried and got the unrouteable error again.

Can anyone help?! thanks...

Rich
