If I change -owner to -own in the mm router in my exim.conf-file and 
change the above in MailList.py I got this log in exim:

process  of mailman_transport transport returned 6 from command: /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman

I have restarted both exim and mailman. Can't find anything in the 
mailman own logs. O don't need to do anything else with MailList.py but 
restart mailman after the change?
