Correct.  Do I see I have 

#-- SYMPA begin
## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager
sympa:          "|/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa"
sympa-request:  postmaster
sympa-owner:    postmaster
listmaster:     postmaster
#-- SYMPA end



in my /etc/aliases. Do I need to make changes to that? I use that in
combination with the following in the exim configuration:

In the "transport" -section

sympa_pipe:
        driver = pipe
        command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue $local_part"
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        user = sympa
        group = sympa

sympa_special_pipe:
        driver = pipe
        command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
        $local_part$local_part_suffix"
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        user = sympa
        group = sympa

sympa_subscribe_pipe:
        driver = pipe
        command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
        $local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain@$domain"
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        user = sympa
        group = sympa

sympa_owner_bounce_pipe:
        driver = pipe
        command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue $local_part@$domain"
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        user = sympa
        group = sympa

sympa_bounce_pipe:
        driver = pipe
        command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue
        address@concealed"
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        user = sympa
        group = sympa


And in the "router" section:

sympa_user:
        driver = accept
        domains = mail3.sun.ac.za
        local_parts = sympa
        transport = sympa_pipe

sympa:
        driver = accept
        require_files = /var/lib/sympa/expl/$local_part
        transport = sympa_pipe

sympa_special:
        driver = accept
        transport = sympa_special_pipe
        local_part_suffix  =  -request : -editor : -unsubscribe
        require_files = /var/lib/sympa/expl/$local_part

sympa_subscribe:
        driver = accept
        transport = sympa_subscribe_pipe
        local_part_suffix  =  -subscribe
        require_files = /var/lib/sympa/expl/$local_part

sympa_owner_bounce:
        driver = accept
        transport = sympa_owner_bounce_pipe
        local_part_suffix = -owner
        require_files = /var/lib/sympa/expl/$local_part

sympa_bounce:
        driver = accept
        local_part_prefix = bounce+
        transport = sympa_bounce_pipe
