root accounts should NEVER EVER receive any mail securitywise. The way to make this working safe though, is to [1] add "=root:username:userid:groupid:/home/of_user:::" to /var/qmail/users/assign and exectute /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu or [2] create the file ".qmail-root" in /var/qmail/alias, that contains the "user address" of the account to receive root mails. Doing it either way: the mail should be found in /home/of_user/Maildir/new afterwards. IIRC all this could be found in the installation help file. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
