Hello Marc,
thanks for your feedback. I have been trying to get it working for several 
weeks.

Just added it:
domainlist MAILMAN_DOMAINS= server.windfinder.com : news.server.windfinder.com

After exim4 restart the mail delivery failed completely (even for non mailman 
mail):

I changed this according tohttp://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html to:
[..]
begin routers

mailman_router:
   driver = accept
   domains = +MAILMAN_domains
   require_files = MAILMAN_LISTCHK
   local_part_suffix_optional
   local_part_suffix = -admin     : \
-bounces   : -bounces+* : \
                       -confirm   : -confirm+* : \
-join      : -leave     : \
-owner    : -request   : \
-subscribe : -unsubscribe
   transport = mailman_transport
[..]
begin transports

mailman_transport:
  driver = pipe
  command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
            '${if def:local_part_suffix \
                  {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
                  {post}}' \
            $local_part
  current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  user = MAILMAN_USER
  group = MAILMAN_GROUP
