I just did a fresh install of FC5T2 and now I keep getting mails from

I'd like to ask developers to follow the mantra of "Don't bother root
with unimportant stuff" - a process should NOT mail root about routine
stuff, otherwise root gets inundated with so many messages the
important ones get lost in the noise.
Have you updated your system after installing FC5test2?. If you are
still getting messages after updates file a bug report upstream in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
I couldn't find any other way to shut beagle up than redirecting the
cron job's output to /dev/null - which means now that if it really
DOES have something to tell me I will not see it.
It would be really nice if there were a nice simple GUI for managing
the messages to root - something that could allow programs to plug in
to it and be configured, so that root could tell logwatch, beagle, and
so on "don't bother me about these things - tell me when something
IMPORTANT happens."
Its the other way around usually. Programs plug into sysklogd and
sysklogd is configurable. Logwatch messages are usually more important
to root than beagle is. You might want to look at logwatch man page for
the level of details if you want from it. If you need a GUI logviewer
take a look at gnome-system-log in gnome-utils package.
system-config-logviewer from FC3 still works if someone is interested in
maintaining it in Fedora Extras.
