I am using mailman 2.1.4-5 on Debian with Exim4 (with the multiple 
configuration files). As I was reading the documentation about how to 
set up mailman with exim4, it doesn't refer to the multiple config file 
set-up, but only to the single exim4 configuration files. Can anyone 
help me to figure out which files to edit in this case. For example, 
which file should I edit to do the following

>
>       Main configuration settings

>
> First, you need to add some macros to the top of your Exim config 
> file. These just make the routers and transport below a bit cleaner. 
> Obviously, you'll need to edit these based on how you configured and 
> installed Mailman.

>  # Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
>  # directory.
>  # By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman"
>  # On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman"
>  # On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman"
>  # This is normally the same as ~mailman
>  MM_HOME=/var/mailman
>  #
>  # User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
>  # switch to Mailman's configure script.
>  # Value is normally "mailman"
>  MM_UID=mailman
>  MM_GID=mailman
>  #
>  # Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
>  # you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
>  domainlist mm_domains=list.example.com
>  #
>  # -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
>  #
>  # These values are derived from the ones above and should not need
>  # editing unless you have munged your mailman installation
>  #
>  # The path of the Mailman mail wrapper script
>  MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman
>  #
>  # The path of the list config file (used as a required file when
>  # verifying list addresses)
>  MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck
