please help to resolve this authentication problem.
Does it work when you login as any other user? If so, edit /etc/aliases
to send root's mail to another user.

hi thanks a lot..
i checked for other users..its working fine for other users.but why
it's not working for root.

is it blocking root or any security reason??

Probably directory permissions. You'd be better off aliasing the root mail account to a regular user account. That should fix any access/permission problems.
