Hey,

Perhaps you can find it in /root/Maildir ? Or else root isn't supposed
to email, so in that case you may create a forward rule in your
qmailadmin (http:// yoursite.com/qmailadmin ), login as postmaster.
Then set the forward from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

If you check the postmaster mail account, there are the log files for
root. Mail from anonymous: crontab logs. Mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: double 
bounces
from qmail itself because anonymous user does not exist. Safely ignore
them, or quit the bounces by setting it to a special account in qmail
control file, /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto.
Most double bounces are in fact spam (if not from qmail itself).

You will find something interesting at:

Explanation how to send double bounces to /dev/null via special mail
account.


Hope I solved your problem, good luck!
