I'm not getting any email to root at .... on my servers. I suggest you try to find out where you might have exposed it. Spammers try to avoid sending to root. Or, are you sure the mail is *really* sent to root and not to an address aliased to root? Lots of users (basically all users that were created for use by a daemon) on the machine are aliased to root. If it's really spam straight to "root at domain" a simple "root at domain nouser" in virtusertable or access.db should usually solve the problem as cron rather sends to "root" or "root at localhost".
