I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box.
Where should I start looking to figure out why logwatch seems not to be doing its thing?
Are any emails going out? Perhaps sendmail died? If it were me, I would start by checking the mail queue (# mailq), the mail log (/var/adm/maillog), and the sendmail mail transport agent (# service sendmail status). I use a default setup which requires sendmail to be running for delivery of mail to root@locahost.
