No root.  How can you have root _mail_ without a root account?  If you
enable the root account, you can strictly have root mail, but otoh, why
bother.

Add "root:anotherusername" to /etc/aliases, restart postfix, and all mail
sent to "root" should go to "anotherusername".

I imagine that's exactly what postalias does.
