I played with Mailman and Exim a while back.  It is supposed to work, but
I had problems and ended up switching to Postfix.  If you haven't looked
at the Mailman/Exim howto yet this would be a place to start:

   http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html

The problem as I remember it was that mailing lists usually make use of
the mail /etc/alias file with include statements.  My vague recollection
is that Exim uses this file in a different way if at all, and this seemed
to be the sticking point.

Anyway, the howto will hopefully be new information for you.
