Yes, thank you, I've got that part. As I said earlier, what I am wondering now
is why exim is trying to search that directory, and whether I want it to.
It happens at - to me - unpredictable times, apparently unrelated to any
messages being sent or received.
Looking at the upstream source for exim 4.89, there are two lots of
references to /proc
1) /proc/loadavg
2) /proc/net/if_inet6
unsuprisingly exim uses these to determine load average and
IPv6 address etc...
I don't know whether the binary rpms add any other uses of /proc
- which version of exim are you using - the one from epel ?
