RE: configuring Checksecurity to email reports to root
I've never used checksecurity, but I assume any reports
it creates will be sent to root. Assuming you have root
aliased to a regular user account, that's where the reports
will end up.

You might have misunderstood me, my question was, will the checksecurity
script that runs from cron e-mail it's report to root if I have exim
installed?
