do you have a root alias? /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root?
Do you have delivery instructions for root?
cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
where does it go? local, to another address?
If local, does the user have a mailbox set up right? if the .qmail-default
for that user is ./Maildir/
is Maildir available in the directory, and was it set up correctly?
Hope that helps.

Subject: No mailbox for root
Newly installed qmail on 2.2 debian/linux works fine, except...
Whenever I send mail to root@localhost I get an error message
<root@mydomain>
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
A trial installation of qmail does not have this problem.
Similar, almost identical, setup.
How can I create a mailbox for root?
What I want is to forward mail for root to another user.
Tia,
Guus.
