Add a line:
root: whoever
to the file /etc/aliases, where whoever is the username or email of the
person to receive the mail. A local user is best, since postmaster may be
directed to root, and if mail is sent to postmaster you could have mail
delivery problems. (Make sure the login exists.) Then run newaliases to
rebuild the aliases database.
