qmail will not deliver mail to the root account, following the instructions
from the INSTALL file you need to setup a file in the ~alias directory called
.qmail-root, either an empty file, which will save mail in the ~alias
account, or  file containing &[EMAIL PROTECTED] to forward root mail to
someone else.
