Resolution
Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is used only if customer selects the OPMS status to be sent via email. It sends these message.
If exim is failing on the station it is not a big problem. Exim is used only to notify users about OPMS problems and only if you checked this option during installation which is by default disabled and most customers keep the default value. You can safely ignore it unless you really need the problem notifications .
In case you are Monitoring OPMS services and failing of any process generate alert, then it's safe to delete exim from the monit config. If you have no OPMS email notifications set up,you don't really need exim anyway.
How to delete:
**************
The files will be in /etc/monit.d/ . you have to execute monit reload after they make any changes/delete the exim4 monit definition file.
Upgrade OPMS
*******************
Also upgrade to latest version: currently OPMS 2023.10.4.
