This is total overkill for my actual requirement (which maybe I

If you want root's mail to get delivered to your own email address,
you can use the file /etc/aliases.
I think the last line of the file already describes it, but if you
want root's mail to get delivered to [4]root@xxxxxxxx,
you can add to that file:
root: [5]root@xxxxxxxx
Ah, yes, but what do I put as my address in /etc/aliases? I can't
find an address that makes sendmail send it to me on this machine.
