The error in the log was misleading me, nothing to do with virtual users and mysql... I should have started with the simplest things... Thanks a lot, I hope this thread can be useful to CentOS users.

Check your exim logs. If your list mail is not using the
mailman_router router, you need to move that router closer to the
front of the routers section, at least ahead of the router it is
using. The mailman_router router uses the mailman_transport
transport, not the address_pipe transport in the messages in your OP.
Hi Mark,
the router is the first of the list; I paste it here:
mailman_router:
driver = accept
domains = +mm_domains
require_files = MAILMAN_LISTCHK
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
headers_remove = X-Spam-Score:X-Spam-Report
transport = mailman_transport
and the transport follows:
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_USER
group = MAILMAN_GROUP
I copied both from one of the many tutorials on the web, and adjusted
only the variables in capitals...
Thanks again for your support
Lorenzo

[Mailman-Users] mailman problem with exim
hi all
I'm trying to make mailman work with exim (on a centos server) but I'm
facing a problem:
when a subscriber posts a message, it isn't forwarded to the other
subscribers, and no error message is sent back to the sender
this is what I find in the /var/log/exim/main.log:
2011-07-28 09:01:50 1QmKbO-0004h7-NS = lore...@coronati.com

expanded string ${lookup mysql{select users.gid from users,domains
where localpart = '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' and domain =
'${quote_mysql:$domain}' and users.domain_id = domains.domain_id}} for
the address_pipe transport

${lookup mysql{select users.gid from users,domains where localpart =
'${quote_mysql:$local_part}' and domain = '${quote_mysql:$domain}' and
users.domain_id = domains.domain_id}} for the address_pipe transport
what I understand is that exim (which is configured to manage the email
addresses stored in a mysql database) tries to expand the mailing list
looking for subscribers via sql, instead of letting mailman to do this
am I right?
and then, what do I have to do to fix this?
thanks in advance
lorenzo

Seehttp://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html for the recommended way to configure Exim with Mailman. Thanks Mark, I've read that page and followed the examples, but still I can't make things work. I wonder if all instructions I've found are based on the assumption that exim works with real unix users...
