Hi,
I have set up (I believe successfully) and configured the following in a Virtualhost environment (with HestiaCP):
- A record for lists.mydomain.com
- Venv
- Mailman core
- Mailman web (run migrate, collectstatic, compress, compilemessages) Postorius
- gunicorn, hyperkitty
- Nginx
- SMTP exim4 conf
I can see Posrorius and I have logged in and created my first mailing list:

My issue is that even though I have subscribed to my list as you can see above, I am not receiving the confirmation email. I get a "recipients refused" error. The smtp log for mailman is as follows:
Oct 11 10:41:20 2023 (1533666) <169701007904.1534165.14569329382406660776@localhost> recipients refused: {' kyriakos.terzopoulos@gmail.com': (550, b'Verification failed for <testlist-bounces+kyriakos.terzopoulos=gmail.com@myproject.eu>\nUnrouteable address\nSender verify failed')}

I have used the configuration for exim that is here <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html#exim4-configuration> and I have also tested with the alternative approach that is documented in there.
Debug info follows:
First, here is my installation directory:

The following are the services that are running successfully (albeit with some warnings):

Happy to share my other mailman or EXIM4 configuration files if needed.
Thanks in advance.
