Thanks for your reply! I am sorry, but I should've been more clear, probably. My domain name is *not* domain.org, I just wrote it in order to generalize... I am not sure why. Anyway, I will answer inside the text: On Sun, 2008-05-04 at 00:55 +0100, Martin A.

Well... 67.18.186.248 is indeed my IP address. My *real* domains (didn't try to hide, just not to confuse... I am sorry, I take it back...) are yogiley.org and lists.yogiley.org. While trying to fix the issue, I have edited /etc/hosts, and added the lines: 67.18.186.248 yogiley.org www.yogiley.org 67.18.186.248 mail.yogiley.org 67.18.186.248 lists.yogiley.org but nothing has changed. You say that "67.18.186.248" is not configured to be a relay for me; well, it's the server's ip, not a remote ip, so I thought that as an IP, it is automatically configured to be a relay, and what I have to configure additionally to that is domain names, "local domains". ++++ I have tried to do what Marc Haber suggested, and here are the results: # dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config I have chose to split configuration (because mailman's debian's docs suggested it) I have chose "internet site" as a mail name, I have written yogiley.org on "IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections" I have left empty on "Other destinations for which mail is accepted" I wrote "debi.yogiley.org;lists.yogiley.org;yogiley.org" Then it asks for "Domains to relay mail for", but calrifies: "Do not mention local domains here", so I have left it empty; I have no "remote" domains which are relevant. Then it asks for "Machines to relay mail for", but clarifies: "If this system should not be a smarthost for any other host, leave this list blank", so I have left it blank. In "dial-on-demand" I have chose no. On "Delivery method for local mail" I have chose mbox format in /var/mail/ Then it has restarted the service. ++++ One word about mailman: I have read carefully README.Exim4.Debian, and added a few conf files in conf.d, as needed. ++++ After reconfiguring as Marc advised, sending mails to peleg[at]yogiley.org started to work; I don't get any error message, and I can read the mails using "mail" command from shell (when I am logged as "peleg"). When I am sending mails to "test7[at]lists.yogiley.org", though, I get a new error, which is "550 Unrouteable address". When I have tried "exim4 -by test7[at]lists.yogiley.org" I got this resonse: R: system_aliases for test7[at]lists.yogiley.org LOG: MAIN PANIC failed to expand condition "${lookup{$local_part@ $domain}lsearch{/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman}{1}{0}}" for mailman_router router: failed to open /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman for linear search: No such file or directory test7[at]lists.yogiley.org is undeliverable: Unrouteable address Indeed, I don't have a file named "/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman" - I couldn't find the name of that file in mailman's docs, either, besides in the place that says that I have to write it in /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/970_local_mailman), and in mailman-postfix docs (which are not relevant, I guess) So here I stay clueless... ++++ Marc also asked "what ends up in /var/lib/exim/config.autogenerated", but I couldn't understand the question. ++++ Do you think I contact use pkg-exim4-users[at]lists.alioth.debian.org instead of that list?
