+<h3><a name="SECTION001621000000000000000">
+6.2.1 Exim configuration</a>
+</h3>
+
+<p>
+The Exim configuration is built so that a list created within Mailman
+automatically appears to Exim without the need for defining any additional
+aliases.
+
+<p>
+The drawback of this configuration is that it will work poorly on systems
+supporting lists in several different mail domains. While Mailman handles
+virtual domains, it does not yet support having two distinct lists with the
+same name in different virtual domains, using the same Mailman installation.
+This will eventually change. (But see below for a variation on this scheme
+that should accommodate virtual domains better.)
+
+<p>
+The configuration file excerpts below are for use in an already functional
+Exim configuration, which accepts mail for the domain in which the list
+resides. If this domain is separate from the others handled by your Exim
+configuration, then you'll need to:
+
+<p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>add the list domain, ``my.list.domain'' to <var>local_domains</var>
+
+<p>
+</li>
+<li>add a ``domains=my.list.domain'' option to the director (router) for the
+ list
+
+<p>
+</li>
+<li>(optional) exclude that domain from your other directors (routers)
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+<div class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
+
+The instructions in this document should work with either Exim 3 or Exim 4.
+In Exim 3, you must have a <var>local_domains</var> configuration setting; in Exim
+4, you most likely have a <var>local_domains</var> domainlist. If you don't, you
+probably know what you're doing and can adjust accordingly. Similarly, in
+Exim 4 the concept of ``directors'' has disappeared - there are only routers
+now. So if you're using Exim 4, whenever this document says ``director'',
+read ``router''.
+</div>
+
+<p>
+Whether you are using Exim 3 or Exim 4, you will need to add some macros to
+the main section of your Exim config file. You will also need to define one
+new transport. With Exim 3, you'll need to add a new director; with Exim 4, a
+new router plays the same role.
+
+<p>
+Finally, the configuration supplied here should allow co-habiting Mailman 2.0
+and 2.1 installations, with the proviso that you'll probably want to use
+<code>mm21</code> in place of <code>mailman</code> - e.g., <var>MM21_HOME</var>,
+<var>mm21_transport</var>, etc.
