There are two ways to fix this, 2 is probably preferred:

1) By default, in the Denyhosts Debian package, the configfile is
installed at /etc/denyhosts.conf. If you didn't take the Debian package,
it will be at /usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg. Either way, edit this
file, and look for the line starting with ADMIN_EMAIL. Set this to your
own e-mail address.

I changed it in the denyhosts.conf, we will see if that works.. I have been
getting one or two of those message every day recently, not sure why it just
started doing that. May be because I have ssh forwarded from my router to my
desktop, and http port 8000 forwarded to my desktop..

2) Configure your mailserver to forward root@localhost to you. For some
hints, check /etc/aliases (at least on Postfix, don't know about Exim).

I already had root forwarded to my local user in aliases, that is already
working, which is why I was confused..
