Mails to root not being sent

RH3
CPanel 9.9.8-S6
Exim 4.43


starting around 6am, mails to root have stopped sending from a server. we normally get about 20 Postmaster notices on virus per hour and various results of cron jobs.

previously, root mails are sent to one of our regular mail accounts. a .forward can be found in /root with the proper forward information. postmaster mails are aliased to root in /etc/aliases. there were no problems till this morning.

we checked whm->mail statistics and we found that there are hundreds of root mails not being sent. whm->mail queue has 0 mails on queue.

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog show the following:

2004-11-12 22:42:05 1CSond-0000HU-1N == root@x*********** R=defer_router defer (-1): All deliveries are handled by MailScanner
2004-11-12 22:42:05 1CSond-0000HU-1N ** root@xxx***********: retry timeout exceeded
2004-11-12 22:42:05 1CSond-0000HU-1N root@xxx***********: error ignored

anyone with any ideas on how to fix this problem?


EDIT: btw, where can the root mailbox be found in RH3/CPanel/Exim ?
