I moved /etc/aliases and exim complained that it was missing. I believe
the above router is above the one that does local deliveries.

The OS is Redhat 9, using the bundled berkley db. I compiled exim from
source also.

After editing /etc/aliases, I have been running /usr/bin/newaliases -
this is correct yes?

Below is the output from exim with the debug flag. Thanks for your help.
