D'oh! I must've looked up every topic except exim specific stuff. (Actually, I
looked for exim stuff, but not too hard...)

Hmmmm. I'm mostly used to mail lists that repost the mail using SMTP or
similar. Does this mean that smartlist just mangles it upon delivery and
convinces exim to handle the forwarding? (I'm not 100% clear on the whole
process it operates on...)

Does this mean you don't use exim yourself, Matt? I was under the impression
you did...
