Problems
+ * Mailman will send as many MAIL FROM/RCPT TO as it needs. It may result
+ in more than 10 or 100 messages sent in one connection, which will exceed
+ the default value of exim's smtp_accept_queue_per_connection
+ This is bad because it will cause exim to switch into queue mode and
+ severely delay delivery of your list messages.
+ The way to fix this is to set mailman's SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION
+ (in ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py) to a smaller value than exim's
+ smtp_accept_queue_per_connection
+
* Mailman should ignore Exim delay warning messages, even though
Exim should never send this to list messages. Mailman 2.1's

*** 112,119 ****
* If you are getting Exim or Mailman complaining about user ids
! when you send mail to a list, check that the MAILMAN21_UID and
! MAILMAN21_GID match those of Mailman itself (i.e. what were used
in the configure script). Also make sure you do not have
aliases in the main alias file for the list.

+
+ Doing VERP with exim and mailman
+
+ VERP will send one Email for each of your subscribers, read the information
+ in ~mailman/Mailman/Default.py for the options that start with VERP.
+ In a nutshell, all you need to do to enable VERP with exim is:
+ VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = 1
+ VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = 1
+ VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
+ VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = 1
+ (the magic directors above are smart enough to deal with VERP bounces)
