Hello Drew,

we added the following part to the Exim router configuration:

#--------------
# Using alias pipe definitions for the Sympa lists in /etc/mail/sympa/aliases
sympa_aliases:
  debug_print = "R: system_aliases for $local_part@$domain"
  driver = redirect
  domains = +local_domains
  allow_fail
  allow_defer
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/sympa/aliases}}
  user = sympa
  group = sympa
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
#--------------

So Sympa needs to update the file /etc/mail/sympa/aliases. The newaliases 
command isn't really used with Exim.

Regards
