"amanda".

It is not the amanda config, nor an actual amanda problem.
Any mail to any system user, from inside, from outside,
mailed by software like amanda, or mailed using the mail
program directly from the command line, ends up in roots
mailbox.

Interestingly it is on both the SuSE 10.0 and the FC4 boxes
and one, I think, runs postfix while the other runs sendmail.
