As a general rule when I build machines, I don't keep root's mail on the local
server (although sometimes its advisable to do so). I normally add an alias
into the /etc/aliases file for anything going to root to be emailed to another
address.

If that's all you want, that would be the easiest way to do it (that would
also put less load on your mail server since, if using sendmail for example,
it doesn't need to go to procmail to then read a .forward file, it's done much
earlier in the alias lookup phase).
