[Mailman-Users] Mailman and exim problem (qrunner not delivering)?

[Moacir]

I somehow had this problem and posted about it several months ago. Back
then, a complete reinstallation of mailman fixed the problem. This time,
the reinstallation hasn't fixed anything. What follows will be a bunch
of info from log files trying to follow a specific message.

I don't know if this is an exim problem (I have also removed exim and
reinstalled it) or a mailman problem. Elsewhere people seem to have the
same problem with other MTAs (that I've found in web searches), and the
response is always "look in the MTA logs"--well, I've included the full
bulk of the MTA logs pertaining to the message I follow.

So please let me know if there's anywhere else I can dig around for
information to try and get down to the center of the problem

Thanks,

On a different machine, I do this:

The following are commands run on the mailman server
(and there was nothing appropriate in mailman/logs/error)
