Can you please re-word your question to describe what you did (in detail) and what you're trying to achieve. At the moment, it's a garbled mess. – EightBitTony Dec 19 '11 at 12:41

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Something is trying to access a directory named /var/empty - I doubt this exists.

Apart from that - what makes you think Exim (an MTA) has anything to do with SSHd (a secure shell server) ?
