I had removed Exim and installed Postfix yet Logwatch still shows an empty Exim section? Why is that still in the output?
Thanks! jlc

Probably because the package removal does not remove log files. Try manually deleting the logs.
Also remove exim from the list of services in logwatch.conf
Hi, Maybe I don't understand Logwatch correctly. Doesn't it look for all possible services defined by the existence of the many service definitions, and if it finds a log, it reports it?
This is the default behavior from what I gathered, my silly mistake was not cleaning the log file out after a service was removed.
Thanks, jlc

I know even if you do not use sendmail logwatch will still report, This is from the logwatch.conf
<q> Service = "-eximstats" # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which # is a wrapper for the eximstats program. </q>
It is on by default so not sure what your seeing.
