in root's crontab use fetch the mail and let procmail as root
sort those files into your users mailbox/maildir files?
No wonder those files belong to root and your user cannot
open them.

All of the daily status mails your box sends to root, will be
sent to your users spoolfile instead.
As long as you do not spool those fetched email, no alias will
be used ever.
