Ok. That's what I ended up doing last night [whenever i setup a unix box,
i always give root a .forward to forward the mail to a different uid so
that there isn't any mail in root's spool]. I removed the .forward and
aliased mail to root to the non uid0 user, but I wasn't sure if that
should be a perminant thing or not. Guess it is. :)

Thanks for the tip and for settin' me straight again.
