Easier. Tell exim to route root's mail to a user who then uses procmail/getmail, and any mail incoming for root is gpg encrypted by getmail/procmail with root's public key and the result is emailed and saved by that user's mua, deleting the original incoming mail. That user will need root's private key to read the copy. > I don't know, but at least the question is clarified so you won't get > everyone telling you the same thing. Thanks.
