mailman & postmaster (exim?) message...



hey folks,

ever since I installed mailman and got lists running, I've been
getting error messages from the postmaster on my local machine:

From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@my.domain>
To: postmaster@my.domain
Subject: Message frozen
Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 08:00:06 -0400

Message 1BQPjy-0002km-00 has been frozen.
The sender is <mailman-bounces@lists.my.domain>.

The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
  mailman-owner@lists.my.domain: remote host address is the local host

-----------
I assume this is exim sending these messages, but I don't quite
understand what the problem is (why is it a problem for the remote
host address to be the local host?).  I have the following line (among a
number of others mailman told me to insert) in /etc/aliases:

mailman-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"

does this look wrong somehow?  Is there somewhere else I should be
looking?

thx as always for your help.
