Fwd: Re: System mail (Fedora 20)

[Robert Moskowitz]

OK.  It was Mark, not Lars, that pointed out the logwatch problem.

Is this a logwatch f20 bug to report, or simply 'if you know to install 
logwatch, you should know how to configure mail'.

Of course we never had to configure mail in the past to use logwatch, 
but that is not logwatch maintainer's problem.

In the file /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf on a fresh
install of Fedora 20 I see this line:

     mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"

Just curious:  did everyone go into /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf and override
this and what did you set it to?  Although I don't recall anything in the release
notes about logwatch being replaced by something maybe there's a new package that
replaced it (and therefore one less need for sendmail).
