This log line indicates mail /from/ root@???, not /to/ it. I
wasn't sure if you knew that already.

So are these messages stuck in an exim queue that you control? If so, you can
use "mailq" to show the contents of the queue, and commands like "exim -Mvh
1GKlnS-0000Hv-AV" to show the headers of a message in the queue (given its
ID), or "exim -Mvb 1GKlnS-0000Hv-AV" for the body. That should help you work
out what submitted the message, hopefully.
