In case I decide to go back. I really like Exim better and have been

It doesn't even get to mailman and in the mainlog, several identical
entries except for the message ID and timestamp:

<mailman-bounces@smudette> R=mailman_router T=mailman_transport: Child
process of mailman_transport transport returned 127 (could mean unable
to exec or command does not exist) from command:
