A very simple strategy exists -- alias root's mail to a regular user.

I previously said it should be done during installation for usability
reasons -- now you've just added another good reason.

Please note that this is relevant even for the suggested world
of "non-MTA-by-default", because some people (horror, shock, awe)
may actually install one.
(unless DoS traps are OK for non-default installed packages...)

Bye,
