do you have a root alias? /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root?
Do you have delivery instructions for root?
cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
where does it go? local, to another address?
If local, does the user have a mailbox set up right? if the .qmail-default
for that user is ./Maildir/
is Maildir

Guus,
For security reasons qmail does not send mail directly
to the root account. This is in the docs and in Life With
Qmail. You need to create alias' for Postmaster, Mailer-Daemon,
and root. To do this you need to decide which user should receive
mail for those accounts (most likely
In qmail you never have a mailbox for root
You may read dot-qmail
Whenever I send mail to root@localhost I get an error message
root@mydomain
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
A trial installation of qmail does not have this problem.
Similar, almost identical, setup.
I read the manual and created the
files ~alias/.qmail-root etc.
Problem solved.
Thanks,
Guus.

/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root is missing.
chances that .qmail-postmaster is also missing.

You cannot. qmail never delivers mail to root. You
qmail-lspawn ignores/denies nonzero uids for delivery(root - 0).

qmail won't deliver to root.
You want somethin like this in /var/qmail/users/assign
=root:USERNAME:UID:GID:/home/USERNAME:::
I'm making alot of assumptions here, but
