I tried the above command, but the mail did not get through. Looking at /var/log/maillog on helen I see the lines ------------------------------- Jun 4 02:27:56 helen sendmail[10504]: m541RtCq010504: to=tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ctladdr=tim (500/500), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30326, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (m541Rtds010505 Message accepted for delivery) Jun 4 02:27:56 helen sendmail[10507]: m541Rtds010505: to=<tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, ctladdr=<tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (500/500), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=120482, relay=smtp.eircom.net [159.134.198.135], dsn=5.6.0, stat=Dataformat error Jun 4 02:27:56 helen sendmail[10507]: m541Rtds010505: m541Ruds010507: DSN: Data format error ------------------------------- I suspect this means the email was sent to my ISP, eircom.net , who rejected the email on the grounds the address was unknown or wrong. > I am also assuming you haven't tweaked the default config of logwatch. > > Speaking of which, you could try changing the "mailto" field in > /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf. This file was empty (except for a comment line) on my Fedora-9 system. But I've added ------------------------------- MailTo = tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MailFrom = Logwatch ------------------------------- and will see if this does the trick. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
