We are running Majordomo with an older Exim (3.12). (It's one of two Exim
instances on a machine separate from our main mail servers.) The Majordomo
itself is fairly old...we plan to phase it out once Mailman 2.1 is out and
we have it running. [We don't want to train the few remaining Majordomo
list owners on Mailman 2.0 and then switch to 2.1.] We set that
Majordomo/Exim pair up at the end of 1999 because we had to phase out the
non-Y2K capable machine which had previously been running
Majordomo/sendmail.
Majordomo basically just falls onto the machine without difficulty (do
follow instructions, and I don't know about any package-based installs).
(Majordomo 2.x may be a different story...we haven't looked.) We aren't
doing anything fancy with the Majordomo installation, so the ugly aliases
are present for each list. Our Mailman installation--which runs most of
our lists--uses the method given in the HowTo at the Exim site to avoid
having per-list aliases in the Exim setup.
