I was intending to follow up to this bug with a suggested router and 
transport pair for Exim, as soon as I got around to working them out. 
However, I prefer the alternative approach suggested by upstream in 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2010-May/069504.html
which is simply to alias mailman-loop to root, or whichever local system 
user you prefer. So something similar to the following would be added to 
/etc/aliases

mailman-loop: root

While I don't understand Mailman's Postfix configuration, I believe this 
this is a nice simple solution which would probably solve the problem 
for Postfix too.
