Edit /etc/mail/aliases. Don't forget to to run "newaliases" after changing the file. See "man aliases" for more information.

Alternatively (sp?), you could create a ".forward" file in /root:

vcron accepts a variable in the crontab file, MAILTO=<user name>, that redirects all mail to this address.
