Re: passwd-file, getting invalid uid 0

      The alias works fine. It's just an auth request. I'll live with it.

Unless your userid is also zero, my guess is that Exim isn't using the alias.  This message
(to me) says "I can't deliver to 'root' because that userid is zero".
On Postfix, you have to run 'newaliases' after changing /etc/aliases.

Per my earlier post about system and virtual users, I have everything working, but I'm seeing the
following message, and wondering:

does it matter?
is there a way to suppress it?

I have an Exim /etc/aliases entry that sends root to me.
