Dilip,
I don't want to teach you to suck eggs but...
Have you tried the simple things like making sure SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE is in
the same case as the actual file and that the full and correct to the file
path is entered in the configure file, e.g.
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/config/system_alias_file}}
These are the sort of simple problems that i encountered when i was writing
my configure file.
regards,
Tom.
