Thanks for the answers :)

In conf.php there is:
$RESERVED="postmaster,root";

Should I go now to every domain I have in web-cyradm, and define aliase to root 
and postmaster so, some existent account can receive their emails?

Regards,

Leon

You are right. It can be dangerous for your system but not always. I don't use 
it but some people does.

Yes. You can have (if you want) only one real account and a lot of email 
addresses. I use it very often because it sort incoming mail by destination 
address not source. For example i have two aliases which I use only for web 
forms.

In your configuration you should create aliasses. Check $RESERVED in conf.php 
before it.
