Hi Kevin.

I'm not sure how this has been packaged - postfix-logwatch runs either under
logwatch (wherein, it does not need to be executable), and standalone where it does.

In my new versions of the code, I have enabled perl's taint mode (via
#!/usr/bin/perl -T) for the standalone mode, and taint mode will not work under
logwatch.  As a standalone package, taint mode works fine.

I check postfix-logwatch into the logwatch cvs tree, so Fedora will
automatically get postfix-logwatch (named simply postfix in
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/ directory) via logwatch updates.

I would recommend that this package named "postfix-logwatch" be installed as the
standalone program, which will a) be more up to date than that in logwatch, and
b) be decoupled from logwatch's schedule, which as a project is becoming
increasingly less active.

I have some significant new features I'm about to release - if you could hold
for a couple of days, I should be ready to release.
