One of two things has happened:

1. Your system filter file has disappeared (unlikely), or
2. A file referred to in your system filter file has disappeared

Do this:

exim -bP system_filter

Then have a look in the file referred to in that config directive to
check for any other files it might be looking for. Alternatively, run
this:

( echo "From: foo@???"; echo "To: foo@???"; echo "Subject: foo";
echo; echo "test" ) | exim -v -bF `exim -bP system_filter | awk '{ print
$3 }'`

That will run a test on your system filter file and tell you where the
error occurs.
