Adam,
I didn't do the following command till just now and I got an error message:
Exim -bt mailman at pilotalk.dyndns.org (Pilotalk.dyndns.org is my domain)
This is the error message I got. I am reading documentation from the Ubuntu
site documentation. Are you suggesting that I might want to take a look at
the Mailman actual documentation? If so I can do that.
*** Error in setting up pipe, file, or autoreply:
pipe_transport unset in system_aliases router

Firstly, is the Mailman runner running, and I take it you've read the
docs telling you you need to create the site-list, usually, 'Mailman'.
exim -bt listname at example.org ?
You may have welcome messages switched off, too.

Are you a member of the list?

Depends on the config as to if you need to have (etc-)aliases(5)
entries, but the "Mailman ... Configuration For Exim" (and the
'mmailman_transport Starts Here' & 'Mailman Router Begins Here'
lines should be commented out.
Is Mailman running as mailman:mailman, or list:list?
I dunno if the Pkg-Exim4 config messes around too much with the
Mailman/Exim interaction: I don't bother with what, to me, is a
travesty of packaging, and use a hand-crafted exim4.conf,
and sometimes, a self-compiled version of exim...
