Once Exim4 is installed, you can start the Exim server using the following command from a terminal prompt: <screen>
<command>sudo apt-get /etc/init.d/exim4 start</command>
</screen> In order to make mailman work with exim4, you need to configure exim4. As mentioned earlier, by default, exim4 uses multiple configuration files of different types. For details, please refer to the <ulink url="http://www.exim.org">Exim</ulink> website. To run mailman, we should add new a configuration file to the following configuration types: <placeholder-1/> Exim creates a master configuration file by sorting all these mini configuration files. So, the order of these configuration files is very important.

# start
# Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
# directory.
# On Ubuntu this should be "/var/lib/mailman"
# This is normally the same as ~mailman
MM_HOME=/var/lib/mailman
#
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script. Value is normally "mailman"
MM_UID=list
MM_GID=list
#
# Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
# you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
domainlist mm_domains=hostname.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
# end

All the configuration files belonging to the main type are stored in the <filename>/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/</filename> directory. You can add the following content to a new file, named <filename>04_exim4-config_mailman</filename>: <placeholder-1/>

677.

mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MM_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MM_HOME
home_directory = MM_HOME
user = MM_UID
group = MM_GID

678.

All the configuration files belonging to transport type are stored in the <filename>/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/</filename> directory. You can add the following content to a new file named <filename> 40_exim4-config_mailman</filename>: <placeholder-1/>

679.

mailman_router:
driver = accept
require_files = MM_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = mailman_transport

680.

All the configuration files belonging to router type are stored in the <filename>/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/</filename> directory. You can add the following content in to a new file named <filename>101_exim4-config_mailman</filename>: <placeholder-1/>

681.

The order of main and transport configuration files can be in any order. But, the order of router configuration files must be the same. This particular file must appear before the <application>200_exim4-config_primary</application> file. These two configuration files contain same type of information. The first file takes the precedence. For more details, please refer to the references section.
