Trying to use mailx for logwatch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



And the mail is failing.  Here is what I have done:

I determined that in: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"

so in: /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
mailer = "/usr/bin/mailx -t"

In /etc/aliases I have:

# Person who should get root's mail
root:        rgm

and I ran newaliases

'journalctl |grep -i logwatch' shows the following (along with other lines):

oh, here are the mail files:

# ls -ls /var/spool/mail/
total 8
0 -rw-rw----. 1 rgm  mail    0 Jan  2 16:47 rgm
8 -rw-------. 1 root mail 5886 Dec 31 12:27 root
0 -rw-rw----. 1 rpc  mail    0 Dec 25 13:27 rpc

The content in root mail is from when I had postfix installed. I have since deleted it to work on getting mailx to work instead.

=================================


perhaps /var/spool/mail/root needs 660 permissions?
