Hello A few weeks ago I started having problems with my system email or specifically my logwatch reports showing up in my inbox. I got most of those issues figued out except one now when i get an email from my system it has a title of this

with this message
/etc/cron.daily/0logwatch:

I have my aliases set right and have been googling for an answer and just cant seem to find anything pointing me in the right direction. But this has been going on for awhile now and i would like to get my normal reports back that i used to get. I have never had to do much else except set my aliases file up correctly and i just always got the daily reports. I am probably missing something amazingly simple but i just cant seem to find it any ideas, thanks.

Well a few weeks ago after updating, my logwatch reports just stopped, i had some permission problems and other such things. So last night what i did was
yum remove sendmail logwatch
then i reinstalled them and was gettting the error logwatch cannot execute sendmail -t
turns out that in the /usr/share/--- logwatch.conf its says mailer = " sendmail -t"
but that kicks in the error so in etc/logwatch/logwatch.conf if you add mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" then the error goes away and logwatch reports start flowing back to my inbox like normal so that fixed my error and all is well now. Talking with people last night they said it was weird probably that a symlink was pointing to where it should be. Weird thing was i did a fresh install on my laptop while working on my main machine last night and was getting the exact same issue on a fresh install. but again applying this fix made it work fine. So the question is now is, is it a logwatch issue or a sendmail issue and if so where and how to fix it. I'm gonna write up a full bug report hopefully tonight and look upstream as well to see if there are any bugs filed with RH about this as well.

It seems to be a path issue... The environment that logwatch is running under doesn't have /usr/sbin in its path, so it needs the full reference.
