One thing you haven't yet mentioned: any messages in the system logs or
in Mailman's logs (it keeps its own set of logs)? What if it's something
completely oblique like low disk space or high load?

Although I doubt exim is the culprit in this case, the complete,
unlogged disappearance of mail had been a characteristic of all
exim-based multi-users systems (and by that I mean "servers that
support thousands of shell users") that I've used.
