Its an exim error before you ever get to mailman.
Exim needs to know what uid/gid to run a pipe as.  This can be derived 
(ie a pipe in a .forward takes the uid/gid from the user who owns (in 
the exim sense) the .forward).  For system aliases there is not a 
sensible default (root is not a sensible default).  So you need to 
assign a user/group to the system aliases director.

Alternatively, look at

for an alternative approach
