Excellent idea! It's the best way to learn about the package...

Since most mailing list managers are designed to work with sendmail,
they all need a little extra configuration for exim.
I favour smartlist, mainly for its automated bounce handling; it
collaborates very cleanly with exim. I haven't tried mailman, but
I gather it's reasonably capable; also, it has a web interface,
which smartlist lacks.
One that I'd suggest you avoid is majordomo - it's had a number of
security problems recently, which led to its being omitted from the
recent Debian 2.2 release.

There's quite a bit of material on exim.org, though some of it is
fairly deeply buried.
