I actually did not have any clue about that link at all.

I have never used Exim with LMTP so this is going to be new and as such the
biggest hurdle is what to throw in in mailman.cf in the MTA sections:
<cut>
[mta]
# The class defining the interface to the incoming mail transport agent.
incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP
# The callable implementing delivery to the outgoing mail transport agent.
# This must accept three arguments, the mailing list, the message, and the
# message metadata dictionary.
outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver
# How to connect to the outgoing MTA. If smtp_user and smtp_pass is given,
# then Mailman will attempt to log into the MTA when making a new
connection.
smtp_host: localhost
smtp_port: 25
smtp_user:
smtp_pass:
# Where the LMTP server listens for connections. Use 127.0.0.1 instead of
# localhost for Postfix integration, because Postfix only consults DNS
# (e.g. not /etc/hosts).
lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1
lmtp_port: 8024
</cut>
Any ardent Exim LMTP users around? Pls help.

I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
