Qmail doesn't deliver to root. Perhaps you're missing a
~alias/.qmail-root file that forwards root's mail to somewhere useful,
like the system administrator (which might be you!).
These days there are too many setups to shake a stick at, but the alias
user's home directory is usually /var/qmail/alias. Read the
INSTALL.alias file in the qmail source distribution for more details.
