Um.  I think I may see what causes this problem.  Basically, the exim
config file uses the following query:

,----
| query = "ldap:///cn=$local_part,ou=mailingList,dc=[...]?listPostaddress";
`----

  Whereas the data in the LDAP directory looks like this:

,----
| dn: cn=test-list,ou=mailingList,dc=[...]
| objectClass: debSfMailingList
| objectClass: top
| cn: test-list
| debSfListPostAddress: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test-list"
| debSfListOwnerAddress: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test-list"
| debSfListRequestAddress: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test-list"
`----

  The listPostAddress attribute does not exist, and yet this is the
one Exim tries to access.  You should have the same problem for the
users' forwarding address.  I'll try and fix it soon, and upload a
fixed version ASAP, but in the meantime you could try rewriting the
query in the exim.conf file to use the appropriate LDAP attribute.

  This is probably due to oversight when we changed the LDAP schema we
use, I seemingly forgot to update everything with the new attribute
names.

  Unfortunately I have to leave for an extended weekend in a few
minutes, so I won't be able to upload a fixed package right now.  You
might want to submit a bug report, so that other people can see the
problem exists and is acknowledged.

Roland.
