I too have had this problem since I installed 2.3. I administer several
machines and all mail coming from user root on any other machine shows
up in my incoming mail as from the name on the Y)our full name line of
my options screen. Thus all mail from ANY root user is listed as being
from me.

I'd sure like to know.
