Ok, you need to know a bit about how Exim works. It uses directors to handle things like user aliases, forwards etc. If you look in your Exim configuration file you'll find a section labelled directors. However, don't just blindly add the line mentionned above, as it may have unwanted side-effects. Look in spec.txt in the directory where the Exiom documentation resides, there's a whole chapter on mailing list management, or failing that, use the html docs on http://www.exim.org or one of its mirrors.
