as you didn't post the relevant parts of your exim.conf I guess that you
didn't read the notes in the compile process of mailman. There you'd
have had the possibility to copy  paste the mailman-concerning entries
for the exim.conf, which I post as quotation below:

   # 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=/usr/local/mailman
   #
   # User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
   # switch to Mailman's configure script.
   # Value is normally mailman
   MM_UID=mailman
   MM_GID=mailman
   #   
   # Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
   # you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
   domainlist mm_domains=your.domains.here : seperated.by.a.colon
   #
   # -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   #
   # 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

The integration works flawless and you don't have to fiddle around with
/etc/mail/aliases as you're supposed to with postfix and sendmail. Just
give exim the domains mailman is concerned with (very easy to set up
virtual domains with that) and it will figure out if the address is
concerned with a list or not.


Regards,

Dirk

I thought that I would simply have to change the FQDM in one place in
mailman's configuration to change it for all lists universally, but I
guess I was wrong.  It works now.

I use Postfix and it plays nice with Mailman.  I'd highly recommend it!
