This is wrong.

If you have myorigin=$mydomain AND want to deliver root's mail to
another machine, use a virtual entry:

        root rootthat.other.machine

If you have myorigin=$mydomain AND want to deliver root's mail
locally, use an virtual entry:

        root rootlocalhost

But then, don't f*ck with .forward fileiles that deliver the mail
elsewhere anyway. For that, use the rootthat.other.machine virtual.

By the way, mail for root IS contrilled by ~root/.forward not nobody.
