Yes, thankyou.
But there is still a problem. Everything in /etc/aliases looks to be
just as I remember it, so there is nothing to fix. But then how did
this email get generated? It's a puzzle. And it may be a while until
Debian starts getting my contribution to popularity. Oh well.


Then perhaps you need to configure exim4? Without it, the mail will only be delivered locally (to the local root user by default).
