How I can stop mail from the
outside coming into "root", yet still allow internal system mail
to go to root?

# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root

# General redirections for pseudo accounts
bin:	root
daemon:	root
named:	root
nobody:	root
operator: root
uucp:	root
www:	root
ftp-bugs: root
popa3d: root
proxy:  root
smmsp:  root
sshd:   root
_portmap: root
_rstatd: root
_identd: root
_rusersd: root
_fingerd: root
_x11:   root

Why MUST these be present?
We are getting an unusual amount od spam mail sent to these Email addresses,  
and want to know why these are created in the first place.
