Yes - I had that problem, but worked it out on my own.  The problem
isn't delivering to mailman (I can send a message to
mailinglist@host.com), but rather, mailman won't deliver to anybody who
isn't local.  I have added the various tweaks from README.Exim that came
with mailman, but I suspect it's not actually the mailman part, but the
exim part that is the problem.  Exim is saying it is refusing to relay
to a host - this makes me think I have something wrong in exim.conf.
The odd thing is that a local user can send mail just fine.  Could it be
that exim is refusing because mailinglistname doesn't have an account?

Hmmm . . .
Cluebat?
