In eximconfig, you also get ask where mail to root and postmaster
should be sent (this sets up /etc/aliases), you really should set this
(or edit /etc/aliases) to be your regular user acount (or the remote
adress where you read most of your mail) "root" proper
should never get any mail, this way you get the messages in a timely
manner.
