[Mailman-Users] cannot send out emails to list members from external email client

[James Nine]

I'm running:

Mailman 2.0.11
Debian 3.0 Woody running Linux 2.4.18 i686
Exim 3.35

I ran apt-get install for both mailman and exim, so everything is from the
debian dist. for 3.0 Woody.

I have setup a test list on my.server.com.  When I email to the list from
my.server.com, it sends it properly to all users on the list.

However, when I email the test list from elsewhere, for example, my yahoo email
account or my work email, it will go to root at my.server.com ONLY, instead of to
the distribution list members.  Another thing to note: I was never able to get
mailman to accept confirmation emails and respond back; I ended up just
manually adding emails to the test list.

Everything checks out... I went through the FAQ several times, and checked
everything.  cron is running, check_perms came out with no errors.  The logs
show nothing is wrong.

I did a /usr/sbin/exim -bt test and -d 9 to diagnose everything but it works
fine on the server side... it points correctly to the alias.  What I'm baffled
about is the client side, and why it does not deliver it to everyone on the
test list.

I'm wondering if this is an exim issue or a mailman issue?  Both logs don't
give me any clues.

Thanks.
