The only problem I'm having is that LogWatch won't MAIL the stuff to me, it's not that it won't give me a log-entry about Postfix, it's that it won't give me anything at all. If my problem is because of what you've noted above, then fair enough, I'll admit defeat, install pflogsumm and leave it at that and find similar 'log analysers' that work for the other daemons. I can make LogWatch output it's stuff to a logfile and look at it there, but I can't get that to mail it using /bin/mail (even if I do it manually) as I get the same error as before, with the 'cannot move file' error. Which makes me think that the problem is with /bin/mail or perhaps the way the mailboxes are setup. I'll keep on it until I can confirm what it is or is not, I'm just stubborn and I don't like to give up without a good reason on things like this. No disrespect to your opinion at all Bill, I appreciate the input :) Mr. K.
