The MTA is Exim.  I paid someone to set up this server for Mailman 3 years
ago, but am not certain about partitioning.  I have access to the dedicated
server.  If given directions I could give you which ever settings are
needed.  

The 4 partions are: 
/dev/sda5, mounted at / [root] (227GB/136GB free)
/dev/sda1, mounted at /boot (99MB/78MB free), 
/dev/sda3, mounted at /tmp (1012 MB/927MB free), and 
/tmp, mounted at /var/tmp (also 1012MB/927MB free)

The machine only has one domain on it and is used specifically for
newsletters using Mailman.  Nothing else.  Not even website pages. The
server is hosted by ThePlanet.com and the servers were in Houston when this
was setup 3 years ago.
