I'll give this a shot: When you set up Exim, did you make choice 1 or 2 (or
some other choice)? If you chose number 1, then there is a configuration
problem within Exim. If you chose #2, does the remote_smtp server exist?

That /etc/aliases file is where you appoint aliases for e-mail users. For
example, using the two lines you provided above, all mail to
mailer-daemon@yourhost.com will be bounced to the postmaster. All mail to
webmaster@yourhost.com will be bounced to root.
