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?


Do you know what mailx is trying to write into the /root directory?

The output of logwatch.  I edited /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

with the line:

mailer = "/usr/bin/mailx -t"

To override /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf

mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
