Can you please tell this "cron"
If you have a System without any user accounts, there are a bunch of
services installed (like "cron") which send "From: root" and you can not
configure this crap (I have already filles a bug report for it)
Note: Even if you forward "root" message sto a user account,
the "From:" is always "root" and the Forward-Account is
"Delivered-To: some_user".
