Dir sir/madam,

Though this problem has been mentioned in the following URL:
http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20001211/022881.html
I still cannot find sufficient information to solve this problem.

Since this server has been used for over two years and this problem
occurred only from two months ago, all of my colleagues insist on that
this is not the reason why too many instances of exim were generated,
which slowed down the server badly.

The message given by the log file is listed as follows,
2004-03-03 06:25:19 Start queue run: pid=14650
2004-03-03 06:25:19 1AxVMA-0001bL-00 system_aliases director: failed to open /et
c/aliases for linear search: No such file or directory

Since I am a newcomer in linux network administration, any information
to this problem is highly appreciated.

                                                Yours sincerely,
                                                           Chen
