If you use the technique described on that page (or the README.EXIM 
file), you don't need to add the aliases for each list to Exim's system 
alias file.  The lists are discovered based on the existence of the 
list configuration files, and *those* directors use pipe routers that 
correctly specify the user and group for the delivery.  The error 
message suggests you added mailing list aliases to your system alias 
file.  Try removing them.

If for some reason you want to use manually maintained alias lists, 
create a director similar to the Exim system_alias director 
(referencing a different alias file), and set the correct user/group on 
it.  (But the automatic list discovery method is less error prone and 
has a negligible performance impact.)
