I have split config and I enabled lmtp port for mailman3. Should I see
Exim listening to port 8024 according to following additions on my
config? I do a `netstat -an` and I don't see any evident that it is
listening on 8024. Any tips?

I did an `update-exim.conf` to update my config and restarted exim.

```
# /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/25_mm3_macros
# The colon-separated list of domains served by Mailman.
domainlist mm_domains=bigbrie.com

MM3_LMTP_PORT=8024

# Assuming a typical source installation in /usr/local, with
# links to the Mailman bin directory and so on from MM3_HOME.
MM3_HOME=/var/lib/mailman3

MM3_GID=list
