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@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
and Exchange is never in the picture at all.

Don't know if that will work, but it's an idea.
