Most likely your entries are sitting in the Mailman queue. You *did*
enable the Mailman cron jobs didn't you.....

Exim will use all the directors defined in your exim config file, in the
order in which they are defined (actually it uses each one in order
until the message/recipient has a transport assigned to it, at which
point no more directors are relevant).
You can basically just drop the whole of the code sets in README.exim
(or
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html ) into an exim config file
(making sure you get them into the right sections), modify the macro
definitions (top section) and it should all just work.
[You do still need to have the cron jobs enabled for mailman though]
