OT postfix question

[Pete Russell]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

NOthing specified in Sending sectionof main.cf

Root wasnt aliased at all, just let root mail fill up.

I have tried to create root:    root at localhost but it doesnt help. I think
this is because that once it is sent as root at thehostname,thedomain name
it is routed as though it its anything at thedomainname its no longer
relevnat that its root? Its starting to drive me nuts.
