Once i helped someone on the list who had problems with his
mailman-setup, and he tried the following
queue_smtp_domains = ${if and {\
{eq {127.0.0.1}{$interface_address}}\
{def::h_X-Mailman-Version::}\
}{*}{}\
}
split_spool_directory
and running exim's queuerunner in small cycles (exim -q1m or -q2m).
He told me that this helped very much to reduce the load on his server.
I think stuff like a caching named or nscd to reduce dns-queries don't
need to be explained ;)
