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.
