The INSTALL docs suggest that you create a "mailman" list where
all the password reminders will come from.
I did that on an exim system, then followed the instructions to
add sections to my exim.conf; most of the mailman-created aliases
are automatically then available, except for "mailman", since I
have a local user!
ben@list:~/src/mailman$ /usr/sbin/exim -v -bt mailman
mailman@list.interq.or.jp
deliver to mailman in domain list.interq.or.jp
director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
ben@list:~/src/mailman$ /usr/sbin/exim -v -bt mailman-request
user "mailman-request" for file existence test not found
mailman-request@list.interq.or.jp
deliver to mailman in domain list.interq.or.jp
director = mm21_director, transport = mm21_transport
ben@list:~/src/mailman$ /usr/sbin/exim -v -bt mailman-bounces
user "mailman-bounces" for file existence test not found
mailman-bounces@list.interq.or.jp
deliver to mailman in domain list.interq.or.jp
director = mm21_director, transport = mm21_transport
Should we add instructions to work around this, or should the
README.EXIM be changed?
