Look into /etc/aliases. I myself have all root mail sent to my user account.
snippet from mine:
# Person who should get root's mail. This alias
# must exist.
# CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN
root: captgoodnight
after changing/adding the line. Do a
$#newaliases
or a
$#sendmail -bi
To initialize the database.
The man pages for postfix are a real help too ;p)
Bests,
