Reading mail as root remotely is a Bad Idea (tm), because of
possible vulnerabilities.
Try using your aliases(5) to redirect root mail to a user account instead.
Oh, and don't log in as root either ;-)

cleverly answered before my clarification :)
This is within our firewall only. SSHD password login for the machine is off
