CentOS - Jun 2007 - logwatch reports not benig emailed

Hello,

I have a couple of CentOS 5 servers, and third running in a FC6 domU.
I've configured postfix on those servers to not deliver any email to the
local system, but to instead relay mail to an internal mail server.  I
also set up /etc/aliases to send all mail to root to me, ksandhu.

I can send mail on the command line, and I get it at my email address,
delivered to the internal mail server: great!  But, every night when
logwatch runs, the damned reports never make it to my mailbox.  What's
worse is that I can manually run logwatch (logwatch --mailto root), and
I get the report in my mailbox!  All CentOS 5 servers are exhibiting the
same behaviour.

I've setup postfix like I always have.  CentOS 4 servers with the same
config are sending their logwatch reports properly.

I've tried explicitly setting the path to sendmail
in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf:

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

but, it hasn't helped.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I must be missing something obvious.

Regards,

Ranbir

Did you already compare /etc/crontab on your CentOS 4.5 servers with the 
5.0 ones? E.g. there is a MAILTO variable and other stuff that could be wrong.

No ideas what's going on?  This happening on every single CentOS 5
server I've installed (6 so far).
