A proper mailing list is more than a single mailbox. You also
need to supply xxx-request and possibly xxx-owner mailboxes too. It
would be a good idea to read RFC 2142 and even 2369.
Again the book Managing Mailing Lists will be quite useful.
As for integrating with Exhange, good luck. I've used a Linux/sendmail
to act as the Internet-facing gateway for Exchange, but not the other
way around.
Another possible thing to consider would be creating a subdomain
strictly for mailling lists separate from your Exchange's DNS domain.
Then set up your MX records appropriately, maybe just for a quick
example,
acme.org. IN MX 20 exchange.acme.org.
list.acme.org. IN MX 20 linux.acme.org.
Then you name you mailing list address something like
<joes-zine at list.acme.org>
and Exchange is never in the picture at all.
Don't know if that will work, but it's an idea.
