Problem with email mailman in Ubuntu

I have just newly installed mailman on ubuntu server. Using Apache2 web server and Exim4 mail server. Mailman is started and running fine. I can send email to and from an login account from the list server. However, when I send email to the cctest4@list.nmit.vic.edu.au , no email send to the member. cctest4 is not a login account. Please advise where did I config wrong in the MAILMAN setup. I followed the instruction to instal mailman which create a "list" user and "list" group.

Code:

# more 04_exim4-config_mailman
# start
# Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
# directory.
# By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman"
# On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman"
# On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman"
# This is normally the same as ~mailman
MM_HOME=/var/lib/mailman
#
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script. Value is normally "mailman"
MM_UID=list
MM_GID=list
#
# Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
# you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
domainlist mm_domains=list.nmit.vic.edu.au
#
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#
# These values are derived from the ones above and should not need
# editing unless you have munged your mailman installation
#
# The path of the Mailman mail wrapper script
MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman
#
# The path of the list config file (used as a required file when
# verifying list addresses)
MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck
# end

Thanks

clone_member

CLONE_MEMBER(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   CLONE_MEMBER(8)

NAME

       clone_member - Clone a Mailman subscriber address

SYNOPSIS

       clone_member [options] fromoldaddr tonewaddr

DESCRIPTION

       Cloning	a  member address means that a new member will be added who has all the same options and passwords as the original member address.
       Note that this operation is fairly trusting of the user who runs it -- it does no verification to the new address, it does not send  out  a
       welcome message, etc.

       The  existing  member's	subscription  is usually not modified in any way.  If you want to remove the old address, use the -r flag.  If you
       also want to change any list admin addresses, use the -a flag.

OPTIONS

	   clone_member [options] fromoldaddr tonewaddr

       -l listname, --listname=listname
	      Check and modify only the named mailing lists.  If -l is not given, then all mailing lists are scanned from the  address.   Multiple
	      -l options can be supplied.

       -r, --remove
	      Remove the old address from the mailing list after it's been cloned.

       -a, --admin
	      Scan the list admin addresses for the old address, and clone or change them too.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do the modifications quietly.

       -n, --nomodify
	      Print what would be done, but don't actually do it.  Inhibits the 0

       fromoldaddr (`from old address') is the old address of the user.  tonewaddr (`to new address') is the new address of the user.
