You've been given some good suggestions.

You may want to edit the file /etc/aliases, go to the bottom, and put in
something like
root:   arch
(This is assuming that your normal username is arch.) That way, all the
e-mail that would normally go to root actually goes to your username.

Run the command newaliases to make the changes live.

Hope this helps,

James.
