It is the mail address of the root user, aka `root at pam`.
There are two places you can configure things, depending on the
notification mode.

For one, under Datacenter > Permissions > Users, you can configure the
actual mail address of `root at pam`, which was set during the
installation.

Secondly, for the new notification system under Datacenter >
Notifications, where you can configure the `mail-to-root` target. This
defaults to sending to the mail address of the `root at pam` user as
configured above, so - depending on what you want to achieve - the above
might suffice.

Hope this helps!
