I've amended /etc/aliases as per the standard instructions (tho
supposedly that shouldn't be necessary using some of the modifications
to exim4/postfix proposed in the docs)

the mailman log shows no errors; shows subsrciptions; no record of
incoming posts; qrunner is mostly unremarkable, though it shows a few
messages like these shortly before shutdown:

Stopping.

not sure, but those don'treally look like errors to me.  

Am just starting to get some interesting messages in /var/log/exim4,
see my next post below.
