Hi Thomas Michael Wanka,
I got the same. I remember a qmail installation where no accounts were created for root and postmaster etc. thast caused messages to stay in the queue for weeks (if they ever reappeared).
That's normal that root and postmaster have not mailboxes or maildirs. What you have to do is to create aliases for root and postmaster (.qmail-root, .qmail-postmaster) in the alias .qmail-root you can write your email-adress. It's also normal that qmail-smtp and qmail-pop3 are started using tcpserver instead of using inetd. For a correct configuration read in http://www.lifewithqmail.org - Life with qmail.
