Umm actually you'd want to use the aliases rather than the password file so
that users with multiple aliases can use whichever they want for mailings.
And besides my users don't have accounts on my mail servers. We're also
talking about a handful of lines of perl or shell scripting at most, running
out of cron on a periodic basis. Not terribly difficult to setup or taxing
on the system except in large installations. But anyway, this is well off
the topic of Exim by now.

Your opinion. I happen to like MLMs for managing my lists and don't find
working with them to be terribly difficult.
