neither. pop just pulls mail from a file and hands it to your mail
client. It know nothing about aliases -- that's sendmail's job. But to
prevent root from receiving mail, send root's mail to another user:
root: chang
now you can pop mail for root and chang from chang -- they'll be mixed
together, but I've never had a problem with that.
