One problem you are going to have is that root can not get his mail
using POP3. This is a security feature. You should have root's mail
go to a normal user set up for this. You can change this in
/etc/aliases. There is a commented out entry at the end of this file:
# Person who should get root's mail
#root: marc
If you remove the # before root, change marc to a valid user, and run
newaliases, you should be all set.
