I think emailing this info is the best first default action.  The system
administrator may not be the person logged in at the moment some desktop
alert pops up.  The sysadmin mayn't even use that PC, they may be
managing a whole office of PCs from one desk.

The root email can be delivered to anywhere that's appropriate.  Leave
desktop alerts to things that are (or should be) under the control of
the current user, pertaining to their own settings, not the system.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
