A hostname should only reference one server, perhaps you mean
www.abc.co.in is your webserver?

Exim is not a POP3 server - you would need to setup a seperate program
for that. RedHat Linux does include some - you'll have to consult its
information.

eximon is just a Graphical monitoring program for exim - you don't need
to do anything with it for exim to work. Personally, I don't use it,
preferring to use the commandline directly.
You will probably want to symlink such things as /usr/lib/sendmail or
/usr/sbin/sendmail to your exim binary, as many local MUA's and other
software which wants to send mail has that hardcoded in as the
'standard' way to call the local MTA.
You should have a look at the documentation (FAQ, SPEC) at
http://www.exim.org/
There are a lot of generic unix/mailserver concept you should probably
get yourself familiar with in order to understand the specifics of exim
(or any mailserver)

Which means exactly what it says. That file has an owner, group, or
permissions which are not correct. (See the exim SPEC, and possibly
installation instructions, for how to determine what owner/ group/
permissions your config file should have)
