Oh. Yeah, you've probably set relay_domains = +mlmmj_domains. This means
that Exim is accepting any mail to lists.tethera.net, /without/ checking the
local_part of destination addresses. That's not exactly a good thing; it can
cause backscatter. All one needs to do is send an email with the sending
email address faked to nonexistent@lists.tethera.net, then the mail will be
accepted based on the domain alone but then bounced back to the false sender.
Instead I've set +mlmmj_domains to the list of local_domains so that the
local_part of the address is always checked. So when I tested and when I
remove the mailing list alias from /etc/aliases, the result is an
"Unroutable address" error, as I think it should.

AFAIK for MLMMJ the full address of the mailing list is specified in
/var/spool/mlmmj/<list>/control/listaddress. In your case you'll probably
find that /var/spool/mlmmj/mlmmj-test/control/listaddress contains
"mlmmj-test@lists.tethera.net".
