keep your responses on the list!

* set a alias on the postfix side to another mail-address
* that way dovecot never see the root-address as destination
* use "postsuper -d queue_id" to kill the messages from the queue

cat /etc/aliases | grep root
# Person who should get root's mail
root:           h.rei...@thelounge.net

don't forget calling "newaliases" after changes in that file
if you have implemented aliases on postfix in a different way
follow the documentation
