&root tells qmail to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is handled by ~alias/.qmail-root.
So it is obvious that you have a loop.
echo '&user_who_acts_as_root' > ~alias/.qmail-root
If you have more than one user who acts as root simply do
echo '&user1' > ~alias/.qmail-root
echo '&user2' >> ~alias/.qmail-root
echo '&user3' >> ~alias/.qmail-root
echo '&user4' >> ~alias/.qmail-root
and mail will be delivered to all of them.

For security reasons. Local delivery is never done with root permission.
