(After all, that's what you're asking for with redirection of root e-mail.) Ergo, anyone with knowledge of 1) your e-mail address 2) your machine could send you a spoof/phishing/etc. >> Should the information be sent via e-mail to an adminstrator, and >> stored for later viewing in general?

I think attempting to have all cron/alert/whatever mail gpg-signed with a host-specific key would be waaaaaaaaaaaay overkill.
