Hi Lee, maybe an alias for root has been set. Look in /etc/aliases , on my system it looks like this:
# This is the aliases file - it says who gets mail for whom. # It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package # distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator. # This file originally generated by eximconfig at Don Jul 19 18:08:49 CEST 2001 # See exim info section for details of the things that can be configured here. postmaster: root root: joachim (...) ... so that mail addressed to root is sent to joachim.
