In eximconfig, you also get ask where mail to root and postmaster should be sent (this sets up /etc/aliases), you really should set this (or edit /etc/aliases) to be your regular user acount (or the remote adress where you read most of your mail) "root" proper should never get any mail, this way you get the messages in a timely manner. -Jon
