Not sure about this feature, why not using a mailinglist (we have all the transports for mailman). It has much more options and integrates error handling (user gets a response about message status), ...

What "mailinglist"? Integration with mailman?

That's what Udera's comment says, no?
I didn't understand his comment. My english is poor.
Actually I did never use the group feature of vexim.
Mailman is a full blown real Mailing List System, not just a feature to address some mail addresses which are in a grouping.
Mailman2 was a good choice for mailing lists and not quite small. This has changed a lot in Mailman3 which needs a lot more resources and is overblown for my needs. When I tested it some years ago there were no easy migration path from MM2 to MM3 for existing lists.
Another good piece of software is mlmmj which is minimalistic and good choice if you don't need too many features. It integrates easily with Exim. Since I switched from MM2 to mlmmj I wrote a small API to manage mlmmj as I had the need to feed it automatically from a database: https://gitlab.com/runout/mlmmjapi
For more than a decade, the built-in group capabilities of vexim were enough for me. But a year ago I needed groups in which most of the participants were read-only. I don't need anything else from groups.
Private groups: only who have
