No, but you lose most of the benefits if its not.

Postfix and Exim have (surprisingly) similar performance curves.  I
readily recommend either in large load cases.

That depends on how you configure your MTA.  Simplest is to keep your
system and Mailman alias lists separate.  Under postfix that just means
that you declare two alias maps

  alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
  alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases

Under Exim its a bit easier as you don't actually need any aliases at
all if you follow the HOW-TO.
