Don't worry. Exim by default does not do local delivery to root. To
circumvent this, you can either set up an alias to have root's mail
delived to a non-privileged account (preferable), or set

never_users =

in the config file. This is a simple security measure to prevent Exim
from accidentally doing something wrong when delivering as root.
