# rpm -q sendmail logwatch
sendmail-8.13.8-8.1.el5_7
logwatch-7.3-10.el5
One host sends just one email per day, the daily logwatch report.
Here's /var/log/maillog entries from yesterday (hostnames are changed to
make designations in this conversation more intuitive):

These four lines describe the sending of just one email. (The loglevel
for sendmail is set at 9, the default.) I don't know why, but logwatch
reports that two emails were sent yesterday. Could it be because there
are two distinct msgids?
Here's the relevant section of the logwatch report:
--------------------- sendmail Begin ------------------------
STATISTICS
----------
Bytes Transferred: 5241
Messages Processed: 2
Addressed Recipients: 2
---------------------- sendmail End -------------------------
I'd also like to know where/how logwatch is getting the number for
"Bytes Transferred"; it doesn't seem to correspond to anything.
So, unless I'm missing something, that's two problems. Does anyone see
any others...? or have a plausible explanation for these inconsistencies?
tia.
