I changed mailman to use an aliases file (/etc/mail/mailman-aliases) which is 
owned by root:mailman. 

I get the following, which I didn't get when the aliases where being managed by 
Exim itself.

====
Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed 
as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as 
group "exim".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group 
"mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option 
`--with-mail-gid=exim'.
====

So I have two options. The tweak, and the re-configure. What is the tweak? Or 
is it better to do the re-configure and if I do that does that "wipe" out 
anything in my current system?

Alternatively, I can turn the Exim support back on but I was getting this error 
from one of my groups:

The email was changed but the address is valid.
