[Mailman-Users] Mailman with Exim4: owner cannot post

[Oliver König]

Hello Mark,
thanks a lot for your help. I must have forgotten the bootom part. I now have:
[..]
# Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
# directory.
# By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman"
# On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman"
# On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman"
# This is normally the same as ~mailman
MM_HOME=/var/lib/mailman
#
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
# Value is normally "mailman"
MM_UID=root
MM_GID=list
#
# Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
# you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
domainlist mm_domains=windfinder.com:server.windfinder.com:www.windfinder.com
#
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#
# These values are derived from the ones above and should not need
# editing unless you have munged your mailman installation
#
# The path of the Mailman mail wrapper script
MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman
#
# The path of the list config file (used as a required file when
# verifying list addresses)
MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck

#smtp_accept_queue_per_connection=30
[..]

For domainlist mm_domains I used everything that could possibly be useful, 
reloaded exim, set "Host name this list prefers for email. (Details for 
host_name" to "server" and posted another message to the list. 

This is what /var/log/mail.log says:
Nov  2 18:01:08 server spamd[1916]: got connection over /var/run/spamd.sock

Any idea what is going wrong?

Regards,
Oliver
