1. Install majordomo with default configuration

2. rm /usr/lib/sendmail; ln -s /path/to/exim-binary /usr/lib/sendmail
(you've probably done this already though...)

3. (exim config): trusted_users = ...:majordom:...

I'm pretty sure that's all you need to get it working, since Exim is
pretty much sendmail compatible. There may be something else that's
blindingly obvious, but I can't think of anything atm... (I managed
to get it working, and if I can do it having only used unix for ~3
months, anyone can... <g>)

As for optional extras...

1. Put the -outgoing aliases on a seperate director that only majordomo
can send to, for security (probably not needed if you use something
less obvious than outgoing and use something like

| .. resend -l list list-outgoing,nobody


but it's useful for the paranoid amongst us <g>).

2. set remote_max_parallel to something > 1, I use 20 and mail goes
out pretty fast...
