You might look in /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/default/su.

I believe that this may be a security measure by your admin.

I know that my systems when I or someone else mistypes the passwd, it emails a notification to me the SA.

So dont automatically think that it is just for your embarrassment or detriment.

its happens with every other user too, not only root.
