Something that I _always_ do after installing a new system is to
edit /etc/aliases, then go to the end and create a real alias for root:
# Person who should get root's mail
root: joeblow at email.com
Then run newaliases and reload the MTA (usually Postfix, sometimes
Sendmail).
Perhaps the FC installer should ask the user at some point to redirect
root's email to a real address?
Hmmm, interesting. I'll raise the question on the -dev list.
