Mailing List Archive: "user = foo" in address

Hello World,

Okay, I asked this question when 3.953 was out but never got a reply. So I will
ask again. I have finally updated my main server to 4.1 (as of a few minutes ago
after a whole night's test run) but I still see this popping up in my paniclog
(as well as mainlog):

2002-07-23 13:48:10 17WxCk-000LaC-00 User 0 set for address_reply transport is on the never_users list
2002-07-23 13:48:10 17WxCk-000LaC-00 == >webmaster@sublimedirectory.com <system-filter> T=address_reply defer
(-29): User 0 set for address_reply transport is on the never_users list

As usual the transport has:

address_reply:
driver = autoreply

Why am I getting this? spec.txt does not say I need to set a user here.

Cheers!

User 0 is root. As shipped, Exim will not attempt to deliver to root, as
root is on the list of users Exim will never become to deliver mail.
[Actually, root IS the list, as shipped.]

Do you have an alias that forwards mail addressed to root to some less
dangerous user?
