edit as root

 /etc/aliases

look for :
>snip
# root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe".
#root:          joe, \root
>snip

and replace with

# root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe".
root:  YOUREMAIL#DOMAIN.COM, \LOCALUSERTORECEIVEMAIL



then type as root.

newaliases


That should be all.
