I tried that but no error messages were produced.

Then I used 'logwatch --debug 100 > some.file

Which produced a little over 300K of stuff for me to go through...

I'm not hopeful. :-(

Well... I don't see anything obvious like 'Error xxx aborting....'

The first time it failed was the night following the day I began using 
fetchmail.

I have several external e-mail accounts that I used to forward to my own 
smtp server. For reasons I won't go into now, I turned off that 
forwarding, and set up fetchmail to retrieve things from different 
places and deliver it my me via smtp on the local machine... no smtp 
changes.

At one point I did run fetchmail from root, because I was thinking of 
pulling mail like that for more than one user, and rather than 
individual .fetchmailrc files, just use one.

Anyway, I'm not doing that anymore.. I have a single .fetchmailrc file 
for one user... it's working great.

The only e-mail I'm not getting is the Logwatch report. :-(

hmmmm
