forwarding root mails not working

[uvhost]

Hi,

I have followed up on this topic https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/system-root-emails.19061/ but the mails are not being forwarded, they are frozen in mail queue administration.

Here is what I get there:

any idea why it's not forwarding root mails?

Do you have the latest exim,.conf file? 4.5.18?
If yes, I always do it a little bit different.

I just edit /etc/aliases en enter:
root: [email protected]

Save, run newaliases (normally not needed with Exim I thought but I just do it to be sure).
Also to be sure I reload Exim and it works.

Worth a try.

This is on Centos by the way.
