To read that mail I recommend to redirect root's mail to a mortal user (pcrowder or how your system user is called). To do so open /etc/aliases as root with an editor of choice and activate the commented alias at bottom of that file by an entry like root: pcrowder After that change you need to activate it by running command "newaliases". Future mails from the system addressed for root will reach your user account, so you can read that system mail with a mail client.
