OK got this one sorted now.
The problem was that I had one of the transport or director stanzas for
virtual domains too early in the exim.conf file, so it was thinking that
my real domain was really virtual (if you see what I mean).
I changed it to come after the "local" stanxa and it works fine now.

BTW, I don't know if it's a problem with the mail server at my end but I
seem to keep getting unsubscribed from the list, or at least the mails
stop coming through until I re-subscribe.
Not sure if it's related to the "open proxy" problem at my end but I
would've thought this should just prevent me posting to the list, not
receiving mails from it?

Paul.
