while installing Dovecot sieve, I am not able to deliver email for root.
That's because you should be redirecting root's mails to some other user. root shouldn't have mail.
Well, I do redirect mail to admin accounts. However, I use SuSE 11 as a base system. And there it is a default to also deliver root mail to the root account, default aliases looks like this:
root: tobi, \root
I was not aware, that root should not be allowed to recieve mail at all and by removing the '\root' from /etc/aliases, deliver is working as expected.
