Debian logwatch mailto settings

In: Linux|Software

25 May 2009

TuxI am used to configuring logwatch on my linux servers to get information about what is going on with my systems (although I do not look into the logwatch mails every day).

Lately I had some problems configuring my email adress on the Debian and Ubuntu systems. The logwatch process sent the mail to my system user every day even if I added a MailTo line into my /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf file.

The reason was that the logwatch process was started from the script /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch with the following line:

/usr/sbin/logwatch --mailto tom

I got mail the morning after changing tom to my full qualified email address.
