I agree for normal systems. However, in certain situations it may be
useful to have a 'root' mailbox. If you have
local_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
in /etc/postfix/main.cf to make single instance store work as expected,
the aliases file has no effect and postfix will deliver syslog messages to
root. One can then grant access to this box for other users via Cyrus.
