One option would be to edit your /etc/aliases file.  Find the 
section below and plug in your address

======== aliases ===========
# Person who should get root's mail
root:           <your-email_address>

=========================

then run "newaliases" at the command prompt.  After that, all mail 
destined for the "root" account will be sent to your email-address.
