User 0 is always on the never users list, its hard-coded into most exim
binaries. User 0 is root and becoming root to perform local deliveries
is a security risk.

try adding another user, for example:

useradd testuser    <enter>
passwd testuser        <enter>


now try to send a message to testuser like this:

mail testuser         <enter>
type your subject    <enter>
type your message    <enter>


<CTRL-D>         to end the body
<enter>         if given the CC prompt
