[Infrastructures] email to root?

[Vincent McIntyre]

I don't think this has been covered before...

So let's say you have a fleet of machines, all cleanly rolled out from
a gold server, yada yada. All totally rocking along.

What, if anything, are people doing with mail that traditionally goes
to the 'root' account on the box?
I know that as part of the build you can just install a .forward or
/etc/aliases that sends it all to some particular account within your
domain that a human is supposed to read, but humans don't scale well.
Is it our doom to die of boredom from reading endless near-identical
emails from cron jobs? Say it ain't so!

Cheers
Vince
