I would think there must be some way to get mail sent to/by root to the normal 
user of the machine--some place to go in and change the mail address for 
emails to root so they are sent to the user via the user's ISP.  (E.g., for 
me, someplace to change the mail address for mail intended for root to 
rhkramer at gmail.com--it then gets sent to my ISP who in turn sends it back to 
me. ??)
