[Exim] exim 4 and multiple alias files

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head around configuring exim 4 to work with multiple
alias files (with one domain), more specifically mailman 2.1 aliases, and
was wondering if anyone who is using such a set up successfully could
point me in the right direction(?).

The set-up is: Solaris 8 Sparc/Exim 4.12-3/Mailman 2.1.4

Currently at the top of the 'directors configuration' section of exim's
configure file I have:

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part

And immediately underneath this my plan was to add the following:

mailman_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/local/etc/mm-aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
user = mailman

Would this work and do I actually need 'user = mailman'? Finally with re
to 'pipe_transport' can I use 'address_pipe' or do I need to create a pipe
transport for mailman?

Thanks for any help/ideas.
