I just installed mailman together with exim as MTA under Linux, 
configuring mm as described in www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html
exim is running under uid=exim, gid=exim, mailman is configured with 
MAILMAN_UID=exim, MAILMAN_GID=exim in the exim configuration.
When I post to a new list created with ./newlist I get the error message

/etc/aliases looks like

the section in exim configuration

address_pipe:
  driver = pipe
  return_output
  user = exim
  group = exim

and

list_transport:
        driver = pipe
        command = MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part}
        current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
        home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
        user = MAILMAN_UID
        group = MAILMAN_GID


In /var/log/exim_mainlog I get

What's wrong there? What does return code 2 mean?

Thanks,
