Mmmh.  Which addresses to you alias like this?  The only two I can thing 
of offhand that MUST receive mail according to any of the mail RFCs (and 
really shouldn't be directed to /dev/null <g>) are postmaster@ and abuse@.

root@ isn't referred to anywhere in the mail RFCs that I know of, 
although in the past it would be reasonable to be able to reach a 
sysadmin at such an address.  (Along with about 20 other semistandard 
UNIX aliases;  none of which are listed anywhere in any mail RFC I can 
recall.)  Quite a few aren't even really relevant to Internet services; 
  they're intended to be aliases for LAN sysadmins.
