And the mail is failing. Here is what I have done:
I determined that in: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
so in: /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf mailer = "/usr/bin/mailx -t"
In /etc/aliases I have:
# Person who should get root's mail root: rgm
and I ran newaliases
'journalctl |grep -i logwatch' shows the following (along with other lines):

oh, here are the mail files:
# ls -ls /var/spool/mail/ total 8 0 -rw-rw----. 1 rgm mail 0 Jan 2 16:47 rgm 8 -rw-------. 1 root mail 5886 Dec 31 12:27 root 0 -rw-rw----. 1 rpc mail 0 Dec 25 13:27 rpc
The content in root mail is from when I had postfix installed. I have since deleted it to work on getting mailx to work instead.
=================================
perhaps /var/spool/mail/root needs 660 permissions?
Do you know what mailx is trying to write into the /root directory?
The output of logwatch. I edited /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
with the line:
mailer = "/usr/bin/mailx -t"
To override /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
