Hi again. I changed it to "own" instead of "owner". I also changed -owner 
to -own in the mailman-router in my exim4.conf-file. But after restarting 
exim4 and mailman I got:

   lekstugan-own at smartlist.nu
     local delivery failed

But the owner addresses are only used for external people to contact the 
list owners, right? We are not using these adresses. So if this doesn't 
generates any problems for mailman, I can just change -owner in my 
mm-router in exim4.conf to something else? Mailman sends out some 
administravie mails from list-owner-address but this should work anyway I 
guess?
