/etc/aliases is part of sendmail - Exim doesn't use it.
It allows you to direct mail for certain names that don't actually have accounts on the system to different places.
So if your name was John Doe, you could create your account jdoe in Unix, and then put the following in /etc/aliases:
johndoe: jdoe
johnd: jdoe
doe: jdoe
Then all the mail that gets sent to those incorrect addresses will still get delivered to the main jdoe account.

See my reply in your other thread. cPanel will probably have to be uninstalled completely and the system reverted back to how it was. You might have to Google that one and see how other people got rid of theirs.
Personally, I would do a fresh installation of CentOS and start over.

yes, it is email account I created in Cpanel
Now
1-Some is at /home/mycpanel-email-account/mail/
2-Some is at /var/spool/main (this is unix adduser account)
Item 1 can be verified by sendmail but item-2 can not be verified
How Exim can use for normal unix adduser account not just by Cpanel ?

Exim is your mail server. Postfix and sendmail are just two other different types of mail servers - they're all fine, but cPanel usually sets up Exim by default, and did in this case.
Your email accounts can be found here:
/home/<username that you set up for your domain>/mail/<your domain name>

I also try /var/spool/mail/, it just show account created by adduser
and some is not shown that might be caused it was created by cpanel before
DO you think so ?
What is aliases file for ?
Why those account shown /var/spool/mail can NOT be verified
by sendmail -bv mylogin@mysite.com ? it always reports
"fail to verify : no such users"

SquirrelMail is just the web-based interface to view mails that have already come in - it's not your MTA (message transfer agent, AKA actual mail server software)
You are probably using Exim by default with cPanel.
Please run these 3 commands and let me know what they return:
ps ax | grep exim
ps ax | grep postfix
ps ax | grep sendmail

yes I can less /etc/passwd to see all of my account but it doesn't
show some hidden email account that is why I am asking this thread
and use sendmail -bv mylogin@mysite.com is showing "fail to verify:
no such user) but the mylogin is shown by "less /etc/passwd"
(Suppose email address before @sign is exactly same as user account
by adduser, Right ?)
I am using SquirrelMail now and I see there is mailman stuff in my cpanel
3rdpatry directory that I had no longer to use it in cpanel since it's expired

Have you tried to look into spool directory. That should give you a hint on how many email accounts you might have on your system. Usually the spool directory is located under:
/var/spool/mail/
so simply do :
# ls /var/spool/mail/
/var/spool/mail/
so simply do :
# ls /var/spool/mail/

If you are using standard Unix accounts which you are adding with the useradd (or adduser) command, then all of them will be in /etc/passwd.
If you are using something different, then let me know how you add users and what mail server software you have, and I'll tell you where to look.
