Any mail for mailer-daemon will go to postmaster.
Any mail for postmaster will go to root.

This is a fairly standard alias file.  You can setup a user called xxyyzz
and have an email alias for him such as GeorgeCluney.  So that anyone who
emails GeorgeCluney       will actaully go to xxyyzz     

Lookup the use of addalias for more details.
