Nickolas,

You can get all messages sent to root forwarded to another address by
adding that address to the /etc/aliases file, this is read by sendmail
or rather the database created when you run newaliases when it needs to
know where to send mail. You can decide which messages to send too.

As to the value - well that is up to you and how critical the machine
is.

hope this helps
