What case? At least, get rid of /etc/postfix/aliases. You're not running
Postfix, are you?

The user does not matter, the group does. What did you specify as gid
with --with-mail-gid when configuring Mailman?

What do the logs say (Exim's mainlog and Mailman's error log)?

See config sample C042 for a HOWTO on how to make Exim 4 and Mailman 2.0
work together.
