I installed Exim and mailutils (For receiving) for sending mails through PHP in Ubuntu. After I installed it, I ran the command dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, I was asked to set the mail recipient for root and postmaster (I was in a rush). I entered root there (not sure if I made a typo). the next time I try to reconfigure Exim, I am not able to set that one setting. How can I set that setting again? Please let me know. I am not able to find the solution for this myself.

Changing Exim aliases (postmaster,root)

Check and modify /etc/aliases (text) file.

Pretty standard procedure is to redirect:
* postmaster to root
* root to non privileged (non root) account of preson acting as root
