It is offered when you are asked to make your first user. The same place
where you are asked if you want automagic login or not.
I personaly still feel that these choices should be reversed, e.g. default
recieving of root mail and default NO auto login.
Anywho, you can change that in /etc/aliases .
This is how mine looks:
# The "\root" will make sure that email is also delivered to the
# root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe".
#root: joe, \root
root: houghi
# Basic system aliases that MUST be present.

Do *NOT* forget to run `newaliases` as root, otherwise it won't work.
houghi
