Use aliases(5).

Quick instructions:
At the top of /etc/aliases add/change this:
Code:
root:   carpetsmoker
carpetsmoker: carpetsmoker@rwxrwxrwx.net
The "root: " should already be there, you can use an email address or forward it to another user.

When you're done editing the file, you must run newaliases(1) for the changes to be effective.
