In your aliases file (usually /etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases) you
have the line:
nobody: root
But I'd hazard a guess that you also have:
#root: marc
Being commented out, mail which eventually gets delivered to root is
trying to deliver to the root user, which is forbidden by either a
compile-time directive or something in your config file (the
"never_users" list, as detailed in the error).
Change that root alias so root's email goes to someone real, a dummy
mailbox, :blackhole: or something else useful.
Alternatively change the nobody alias so it goes to someone real, a
dummy mailbox, :blackhole: or something else useful.
Remember though that simply dropping the mail - especially addressed to
root - is likely to land you in DNS lists like rfc-ignorant, because
your postmaster alias probably goes to root too...
