[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#504695: mailman: README.Exim4.Debian has wrong group and router settings listed

[Kris Popendorf]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.11-3
Severity: minor


The MAILMAN_GROUP line in the README.Exim4.Debian docs suggest a wrong
group line (the files it needs to read are gid list, not daemon). Also 
the condition in the suggested mailman_router is (I assume) outdated and 
wrong. I'm a mailman or exim expert by any means, but I've attached a 
patch describing what I think they should be (works for me anyway).
