Have you configured 'Change System Mail Preferences' under 'Server Contacts' in WHM to tell WHM where to send the mail for Root?

You should also tail your exim mainlog and then force delivery of one of those messages in the queue through WHM and watch for errors.

2005-10-23 04:02:12 1ETJ3y-0005Nd-KC == linux@somedomain.com routing defer (-51): retry time not reached

i can send email via all smtps to linux@somedomain.com but not from this server,

also my server is an open relay ( found from dnsreport.com ) how to resolve this ?

If you have the standard cPanel configuration without any additional ACL's (e.g. if you run /scripts/reseteximtodefaults) then you won't have an open relay no matter what dnsreport.com says. If you have made ACL and other setting changes in exim.conf try resetting back to defaults and test it again.

Those errors don't help as they didn't force a redelivery of the mail, you could try and find the orignal reason for it being queued with:

grep 1ETJ3y-0005Nd-KC /var/log/exim_mainlog
