Yes. No problems. Here a test via command line. Mailing list is called "more".

misc ~ # exim -v more at misc.domain.de
From: himbeere at domain.de
To: more at misc.domain.de
Subject: Test

This is a test.

So the mail is with mailman now. Mailman smtp.log still the same:

It seems mailman is unable to send mail. Sending mail as user mailman on the 
commandline works. Strange.

thanks and ciao
