If it is the logwatch mailing I can tell you exactly what the OP's problem is. The logwatch authors chose an sender name that doesn't exist in /etc/password. When Verizon does the smpt "finger-back" to see if the user-name really exists, it finds that user "logwatch" doesn't exist on the fedora box. It then thinks the email is spoofed and junks it. I have a similar problem here with logwatch that falls afoul of my *@wsrcc.com anti-spoofing filters. My filters notice that the claimed sender "logwatch@xxxxxxxxxxxx" doesn't exist and trashes the message. I found the simplest fix is to make the sender be root and have the human-name-string (gecos field for the old timers) be "Logwatch". To do that add this to the file /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf: MailFrom = root (Logwatch) ---- cut here ---- -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/
