If you set up Exim as suggested in
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.019.htp>
and the references it points to, you won't need to bother with aliases
at all for Mailman, and you won't have this problem.

Exim is not recognizing that addresses of the form
[EMAIL PROTECTED] should be delivered as if +suffix is not there.

In your case, using aliases, I *think* your

systemalias:

router needs the following:

local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional

either that or you need aliases like

wil-mailing-bounces+*: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces
wil-mailing"
wil-mailing-confirm+*: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm
wil-mailing"


but it is much better to set up a router and transport for mailman as
discussed in the material referenced in the FAQ or at
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node16.html>.
