[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#733134: mailman wrapper script runs as group "daemon" instead of "Debian-exim"

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.16-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I still have the bug in 1:2.1.15-1 (wheezy (stable) and 
1:2.1.16-1 (sid backport to wheezy).


This is a duplicate of the archived bug #228935 from 22 Jan 
2004. The proposed solution was:

> Read README.Exim and follow the instructions there.

This file does not exist any more. I tried the instructions 
in /usr/share/doc/mailman/README.Exim4.Debian.gz , but the 
problem is still there. It still uses the aliases in 
/etc/aliases.

Mailman does not work. Why is this bug still there when it 
was known in 2004?

Bernhard
