This is a step-by-step guide to run mlmmj with Exim4.



Notes:
- We assume that you have a user and group called mlmmj to use with mlmmj
- The exim user needs read access rights to mlmmj's spool directory and its
  subdirectories
- Existence of mailing lists is automatically checked and you don't need to
  put anything into your aliases file


1. In the main configuration section:

MLMMJ_HOME=/var/spool/mlmmj
domainlist mlmmj_domains = list.your.domain


2. Add +mlmmj_domains to relay_to_domains:

domainlist relay_to_domains = other.domain : +mlmmj_domains


3. In the routers section (before the dnslookup router, preferably at the
beginning):

mlmmj_router:
  driver = accept
  domains = +mlmmj_domains
  require_files = MLMMJ_HOME/${lc::$local_part}/index
  local_part_suffix = +*
  local_part_suffix_optional
  transport = mlmmj_transport


4. Somewhere in the transports section (change the path of mlmmj-recieve if you
don't use the default location):

mlmmj_transport:
  driver = pipe
  return_path_add
  user = mlmmj
  group = mlmmj
  home_directory = MLMMJ_HOME
  current_directory = MLMMJ_HOME
  command = /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-recieve -F -L MLMMJ_HOME/${lc::$local_part}


5. Test your setup with

$ exim -bt mlmmj-test@your.list.domain
mlmmj-test@your.list.domain
  router = mlmmj_router, transport = mlmmj_transport

If you get different output, run it with -d to see what's going wrong.
If not, you're done!
