That means it cannot run the pipe command because there is no uid/gid 
associated with your aliases director.

See
  http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_20.html#SEC595

However you will do better going to
  http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html

and reconfiguring exim that way, whilst removing all the mailman 
references from your aliases files.
