Howdy Phill,
Wow. I've never heard of anything like that, but it's obviously pretty serious.
Is it possible you've chosen "root" as the administrator for the virtual server, and "root" has no home directory configured (set to / perhaps, as it is on older style UNIX systems)?
I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario where things could play out that way unless the home directory of one of the users in the process is "/" (which, obviously, is not the default).
I think I'd have to see this system for myself to figure this one out. Could you send over login details to joe@virtualmin.com?

I just had a look at this, and found the cause of the problem. It was a combination of two things :
1) In Webmin's Sendmail Configuration module on the Module Config page, the Mail file in home directory field was empty ... it should have been set to mail
2) A bug in Virtualmin caused the home directory to not be prefixed when deleting the user's mail file, which led to the command rm -rf / being run!
This bug seems to have existed for a while, but it only happens when using Sendmail with email delivered to a file in users' home directories, which isn't typically the default.
I will include a proper fix in the upcoming 3.55 Virtualmin release.
