Exim will need localhost or 127.0.0.1/32 listing as an allowed relayer 
- this is already in the exim/mailman HOWTO.

That will be the case.  I would tend to use smtp injection personally, 
and also prevent exim doing significant lookups on the incoming 
addresses - ie no recipient verification.  RSN I'll put mailman 2beta 
on the exim site and knock the config into shape for it... and then 
look at the bouncer module.
