Here is what I have done. Edit /etc/aliases as root. Around the last
line of the file there is something similiar to
# Person who should get root's mail
root: micheal
I have it going to my local spool, however you can edit this with any
e-mail address you wish.
After you are done. run the command newaliases as root.
Now all you have to do is check the mail for the e-mail you have set up
as an 'alias' for root, and you are set.
