If you've copied the standard configure file, then you'll probably
have "never_users=root" in it, which would certainly prevent this sort
of thing from happening.
In general, I would reccomend against delivering to root anyway, use
an alias to send it to your own mailbox. Then you can use exim's
filtering capability to seperate it out into a different folder.
