When you make a new mailman list, it should spit out
several lines of aliases (at least 5-6 of them) to the
console.

Copy and paste this into the end of /etc/aliases.
Then run "newaliases" as root.

newaliases is supported by sendmail and postfix.
I'm not sure about exim, but I wouldn't be suprized
that exim provides this script just like sendmail
and postfix.  Otherwise...   man exim...
