very easy... just add a .forward in root's home directory to send the email
to the specified address which is hosted by the MDaemon server.
All you need in that file is the email address(es) that you want to receive
root's email.
Nothing fancy needed.
You may also be able to forward the mail by editing /etc/aliases, but
editing the .forward file works grand.
