Do you mean the "from" address os logwatch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?  In
which case I am not sure what you want to do is the way to solve it.

grep -r /* foo

should do it, where foo is the string you are searching for.  Run it as
root or you won't have access to all files.  You will still get some
error messages from some of the things in /dev, but it should find what
you are looking for.
