[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.5 and Exim 3.6

[Jon Carnes]

If you can't get that Exim integration working, you can still simply treat
the Mailman aliases as normal aliases, but you will have to update your
/etc/aliases file for each list.  At the very least you will need the
<listname>-request alias added.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
