I've slightly changed the Mailman configuration by adapting it from http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html .

Also, since the Mailman package in Debian doesn't seem to configure Exim by default, I've added our configuration to Debian files as well.

Did you test this setup?

You deleted MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP, are these generated automatically? Because the variables are still used.

Look a few lines above, and you'll see these macros safe and sound. :-) But no, I haven't tested the setup.

I shouldn't review code on a mobile ;-)

So we only need to test it. I still have a different issue with my mailman that I need to figure out before testing new configurations.

The mailman user for debian is list. Especially for the debian-files we should use it, and don't delete the default freeBSD user name, you can put them in the comments.

I still have a little problem that every time exim handles mailinglist mails, the config.pck is getting the chmod 640. In order to work properly with the web-interface, you need a chmod 660 (there is the check_perms script to fix the permissions). Even a umask 002 in the mailman transport doesn't help. Currently I run the correcting script as a cronjob. The debian-doc (/usr/share/doc/...) uses a different configuration for mailman and also the exim transports. I haven't checked these yet, I'll probably use a test system. Not sure if other systems are similar to debian.

Finally, I used parts of this already over the last months. No problems so far, I'm merging this.
