If you are running the default sendmail, put an alias for root in /etc/aliases and restart sendmail or run 'newaliases'.
Or you can edit
/etc/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
and change line 64
$Config{'mailto'} = "root";
The upside is that this works for logwatch.
The downside is that this *only* works for logwatch.
Aside from the aliases which were previously mentioned, it's just as simple to create /root/.forward, which would then include an entry for the email address to which want the email to be sent.
