It tells me the mail queue is empty. It is as if logwatch isn't even TRYING to send mail out at all, at least if it tried (and failed) I'd have something in the maillog, but I don't. You say that postfix may not be configured/etc... correctly. Is there anything obvious here or do you need a copy of my postfix config file (main.cf) because to be honest, I can't see what the problem is with it, but my own experience with postfix is limited. Any good sites for configuring postfix, perhaps an example config file that is KNOWN to work with LogWatch (so I can possibly have a clue of where I went wrong) ? Mr. K.
