Well, still no mail. Something else is needed. The dead.letter in
/root ends with:
=====================================================
###################### Logwatch End #########################
/etc/cron.daily/0logwatch:
sendmail: Cannot open mail:25
=====================================================
But I see:
=====================================================
# netstat -na|grep 25
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN
=====================================================
Digging a little deeper in journalctl I find:

So I check up on postfix:

Then try to create aliases.db from the /etc/aliases that I had edited to
add routing root's mail to rgm:
# newaliases
newaliases: In sSMTP aliases are read from a plain text file
??? Huh?
Advice here would be greatly appreciated. Looks like eventhough they
added postfix back into the default build (remeber in F20 where they cut
it?), it is not ready to run 'out of the box'.

I just noticed that I am getting my logwatch email dropped off as
dead.letter under /root.
And that my personal cron rsync is also coming as dead.letter under
/home/rgm/
It seems that postfix is not running by default:
# systemctl status postfix
postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
so I enabled and started postfix.
Is that what I need to do, and all I need to do?
I would like things to work tonight when cronie kicks off its jobs.
