exim losing messages

[Martin Hepworth]

I hate replying to myself BUT...

I think I figured out the losing messages problem.

It was, pas usual, the config catching me out. The MS machine is a
gateway (both ways) for my WAN.

Several of the users on th MailMan list, are only allowed internal email
(delete option in the rules). So when the Mailman server uses the MS
machine as the smart host the message gets 'deleted' as thats the rule
for one of the users in the 'to' (or BCC or however MM does it).

So in order to let the MM machine have the MS machine as the smart host
I need to change the rules so the MM machine's ip-address is allowed to
send to ALL people and that rule is before the delete action formy
internal only email addresses..I'll get mi coat ;-)
