However postfix uses /etc/password to deliver email for root. Also for other users in that file, even when they do not have an entry in /etc/aliases. Is this the case also for leap? Because in my system I have my users in etc/password that look alike the others. Could you, in the latter case post here a sample entry of etc

I still do not have this fixed (although the patch I installed for filtering mail has stopped system crashes and 99% of filter issues, so I guess soon I can give feedback to my bug as solved..)
When you did not give alias_maps a value in /etc/postfix/main.cf right after installing it on a new system - normally it will be assigned the value: hash:/etc/aliases - postfix is using information from /etc/passwd. It will put this email in /var/mail/<username>. rootmail will be delivered in: /var/mail/root. It does not know where else to put that email. When you are logged in as root on a console, right after finishing a command you will get a message that you have new mail in /var/mail/root. Mail for a user joe in /etc/passwd will be available in /var/mail/joe. If you want rootmail delivered somewhere else, you have to assign that value to alias_maps, in which case the file /etc/aliases gives you the possibility to divert that email somewhere else. After changing something i /etc/aliases you have to enable the change using the command newaliases. -- fr.gr.
