Sorry, it looks like the genaliases script is designed specifically to be used with Postfix... Hmmm. Seems like it could easily be made MTA neutral, and still be able to link with Postfix.
genaliases depends on the MTA variable setting in mm_cfg.py. If you wanted to run Exim with manual aliases, you'd set MTA='Manual'
I'm not sure I can stretch my memory back to January, but I think the issue was that the genaliases script doesn't create a file with the aliases in them unless you are using Postfix (presumably with the MTA variable set to Postfix). I'm running sendmail and the MTA variable is at the default (i.e., Manual). I think the only way to get a list of all of the aliases is to capture the output of the genaliases script and manually remove the extra comment lines ("To finish creating your mailing list . . .").
