Unpack the Exim sources. src/configure.default is the default
configuration file. It is very well commented. Read the comments before
setting of the "never_users" option (starting at line 143). You are
interested in the very last sentence (it starts on line 147) of that
section.

To change the destination user you can try to set $MAILTO in root's
crontab to a non-root user.
