With the Postoffice settings in NWadmin you select administrator, is the distribution list in there? Has been selected as all 4 options(Postmaster, acountant etc etc)?
Try selecting your userid as administrator.
This is done for each gateway as well i.e. GWIA.

Got Gateways and General mixed up.
General Administrator
1. Nwadmn32
2. Select Domain
3. Details
4. On the information screen there is an option for Administrator
5. You can only select a user with a Groupwise account or a Groupwise Distribution list. Select required object.
6. Done
The selected object will receive mail from the agents for that domain(MTA, and POA's belonging to that domain).
Next we need to check the startup files to make sure error mail has not been disabled.
On the server goto an agent, the POA for example. Press f10, select edit startup file. In there the should be an option for error mail to administrator, make sure there is a semi-colon before the /noerrormail.
Do this for each of the agents associated for the domain. The agents will need restarting.

Does the poa or mta throw up an error that it cannot send administrator email.
It may be worth remove the administrator from the domain.
Run a rebuild on the domain.
add the administrator back in.
Also, try just using a user rather than a group. There used to be an issue also with having an administrator that the userid as longer than 8 characters but i'm sure this got sorted ages ago.
