After reading through this, my only concern is that it will only
appeal to very few users.  

* It's too Exim specific.  Exim is used less than Sendmail, Postfix or
  qmail.  It would be nice to come up with a more general HOWTO that
  covers integration with either Sendmail, Postfix or Exim.

* The mimefilter/mimedecode stuff is a distraction IMO, and not really
  relevant to the TMDA integration.

* If we can find a way to do this without procmail, that's a bonus.

That said, thanks for writing this up.  I think it's a good start, and
longer overdue.

In the qmail HOWTO I'm writing, TMDA is driven from ~mailman's .qmail
files, following the setup recommended in README.QMAIL.  This solves
the problem of access to the MM config.db files of course.

What user is the filter process executed as by default?
