You should read root's mail anyway.  You get a daily summary from
Logwatch that way and maybe other exciting things.  Edit /etc/aliases
and change the bit at the end that says

# Person who should get root's mail
#root:          marc

to

# Person who should get root's mail
root:          yuanlux at gmail.com
