In $home_mailman/var/etc/mailman.cfg i have this setting:

[mta]
# For all Exim4 installations.
incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP
outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver
# Typical single host with MTA and Mailman configuration.
# Adjust to your system's configuration.
# Exim happily works with the "localhost" alias rather than IP address.
lmtp_host: localhost
smtp_host: localhost
# Mailman should not be run as root.
# Use any convenient port > 1024.  8024 is a convention, but can be
# changed if there is a conflict with other software using that port.
lmtp_port: 8024
# smtp_port rarely needs to be set.
smtp_port: 25
# Exim4-specific configuration parameter defaults.  Currently empty.
configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4

So i guess mailman should be aware of my exim setup.

thanks for any hints.

cheers
