The problem is that exim is not changing to the correct UID and GID
before handing off the mail to the mailman wrapper. This is well
documented in the mailman list archives. To have this happen
correctly add the following stanza to your transports:
mailman_list_pipe:
driver = pipe
allow_commands = /home/mailman/mail/wrapper
user = mailman
group = mail
return_fail_output
Then you can add the following to your directors:
mailman_lists:
driver = aliasfile
search_type = lsearch
file = /home/mailman/data/aliases
pipe_transport = mailman_list_pipe
which allows you to add all your list aliases to
/home/mailman/data/aliases rahter than /etc/aliases.
