I understand that ROOT is on never_use list. My problem is the WEBMASTER name is not on that list yet mail that is sent to WEBMASTER is being sent to ROOT and I am then getting the never_use error.

I have deleted and recrated the webmaster user several times to no avail. Is there a connection between root and webmaster somewhere?

Both problems would be solved it you took the time to read the
documentation properly.

Nope, there is an option which controls this. Check the documentation
under retry.

"root@???" is on the never_users list. Either remove it from said
list or create an alias that maps root to some other users.
