Hi Chad,
This is mail addressed to your MAILMAN_USER. You run mailman, yes?
In my setup, MM_HOME = /usr/local/mailman. In yours it's
/nonexistent. I don't believe this is right, if you really followed
the instructions on configuring Exim with Mailman.
Here is the HOWTO:
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html
Once you follow that and fix the home for MM_UID, your problem will
have been solved.
About your other questions, I may not be able to answer them for now,
using guesswork, but maybe others here will.
cheers
