Have you inadvertently aliased the root user to another user? Or
perhaps you deleted an alias and should be looking in the "root" mailbox?
I have virtual mail setup on my systems and I lost periodic emails as
well until I configured postfix correctly to consider my local machine's
hostname as an acceptable recipient. I now alias root to the virtual
user I want to receive these emails.
