If you've never seen these before, you may want to tweak your sendmail
aliases file so root mail goes somewhere where you'll see it more often. :-)
#gedit /etc/aliases
look towards the end of the file... there's a comment about setting an
alias for root's mail.
#newaliases
Note the newaliases command is needed to pick up changes.
I have procmail put those LogWatch reports in a separate folder and I
look at it (almost) daily... if new things start showing up, I can
easily refer to previous days... I've also used these reports to
identify ip ranges of "annoying behavior" and then block them
entirely... at my router... the bad traffic doesn't even get to my
machine after that.
