    This is a protected file only accessible to root and "mail". Attempts to
    change its permissions are overrided on startup.

    Cron mail notifications are sent to this file. How might I reroute them to
    another mail file such as root (which mail group can read)? I am using exim4
    and there should be a simple way to do this.
