This shows precisely what the problem is. Neither the director nor
the transport you configured told exim what uid to setuid() to before
invoking that program to pipe the mesasge to. (as the log said, in a
nicely terse manner :-))
The simplest solution is to put the line
user = majordomo
on the 'system_aliases' director in your exim.conf. Look in section
20 of /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz. Specifically go to line 10524
and start reading there.

I would choose mailman because :
1) I like the UI from a user perspective
2) I know a bit about the developers and trust them
3) I like python (the implementation language)
YMMV :-).
