Because exim defalt prohibits it for the security concern. Check your /etc/exim.conf. Mine has: .... # No local deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon- # separated list). An attempt to do so gets changed so that it runs under the # uid of "nobody" instead. This is a paranoic safety catch. Note the default # setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root as if it were a # normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias for # root that redirects such mail to a human administrator. never_users = root .... Check /etc/aliases of your system too. Mine contain: root: normalusername Good luck -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
