...Except that the reports are sent to root, and root's mail often goes
unread.
Peter, check root's mail -- if the logwatch reports are there, you can
edit /etc/aliases, find the line that says who should get root's mail
(the last line in the file), uncomment it, and change it to your user
ID:
# Person who should get root's mail
root: put-your-user-ID-here
Then run newaliases and you should start getting logwatch reports.
