    Hello all,

    I'm trying to get mailman working right. We have separate machines for
    web and email, and in order to use mailman's web management tools, it
    needs to be installed on the web server. Don't have the option of
    putting a webserver on the email machine - long story. Anyway, all email
    sent to the domain is put to the email machine, except the email machine
    bounces mail sent to any mailing list because mailman isn't set up on
    that machine!

    I do have exim configured to work properly with mailman on the web
    server, according to the directions on exim.org.

    How can I configure exim on the email machine to try forwarding any mail
    that the transporters couldn't deliver locally to the machine with
    mailman installed? I'm assuming if mail bounced once it reached the
    mailman machine/web server, it'd bounce back to the email machine and
    bounce again back to the original person who sent it, right?

    What do I put in the transport config section to have the regular email
    machine try forwarding to the other machine before giving up?

    Thanks
