In previous openSUSE installations I have checked the box for the
first user to get system mail, and it works.

On this new 12.1 installation with KDE 4.7.2, with a pre-existing
/home, I did the same, but no system mail comes to the user.

Even after doing

:~ # service postfix start
:~ # chkconfig postfix on

an incantation that I found on a forum, root now gets mail, but it is
not redirected to me.

That sounds like a bad alias setup. Check your /etc/aliases file, I'm
fairly certain that is where it is set up.
