You can change the recipient to whom the root mails from server are delivered as follows.
1) Go to /etc/aliases
2) Scroll down to the bottom where you will find a line as follows.
# Person who should get root’s mail
root: mark
If you want to send this to some other email address, say mark@gmail.com, make the line looks as follows.
# Person who should get root’s mail
root: mark@gmail.com
Once the change is done, save and close the file. In order for the changes to be picked up by postfix, you need to issue the following command.
# newaliases
Once that is done, try sending a mail to the root ID and see how it goes !!
