General unix admin rule, number 36; Do as little as root as possible
be it command line or programs.
root is an alias on all my systems. There are many different ways you
could deal with root's mail depending on where you want it to end up.
If you must have it in a different account from anything else, I'd
create a non-uid-0 account for it to be delivered to.
