that you are working with unix-accounts and the root uid 0 is prohibited for (good) saftey reasonsOkay, that sounds good. How do I deliver mail to the root account then, and stop this error/warning/message? As mails are now backing up in the queue and cannot be delivered...
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.reindl@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

Okay, so that's two people who have recommended the same solution. That's good enough for me. I shall go and implement that now.
Many thanks for all your help guys!
