I would recommend using stable+backports for any internet-facing server,
otherwise, keeping up-to-date and unbroken can be a PITA

I have a pretty similar setup. I use procmail to sort my messages, and
use (among others) the following rules.
~/.procmailrc:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org>
.debian-user/
You shouldn't need to do anything other than install procmail and add
those rules, exim should be setup by default to use procmail for any
account with a .procmail file in the homedir.
