you could alias all of root's mail to another user that has a UID higher than 60
you could also alias root to your regular sysadmin email account so that you dont even
have to
bother with fetchmail , i.e. root: root, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or you could use wget to grab root's mail file from each server and bring it back to
your main box
and then append the file to whatever your main admin account is
the best way of course is to just alias all root mail to go to a specific email
account, it is the
easiest way, no hassles and worry free
