I'm trying to get usable reports out of logwatch on this new system. Looks like the reports are running in an 'unformatted' mode under Postfix/Amavisd.
I found a couple of programs, postfix-logwatch and amavisd-logwatch. These sound promising. I am running Amavisd as the frontend to Postfix.
Is anybody running either of these as a logwatch filter?
If so, is it repetitive to run both, or should I consider only one of above and which would provide the best results?
And, are these in any of the CentOS repositories? Couldn't find them in Dag's.
Thanks!

I use both. They format nicely and give different stats.

I just downloaded and ran the make install as per instructions. It only installs a script for logwatch to run and puts it in a sensible place with postfix and amavis names
Thanks!

It seems that the authors web-site is offline ( http://www.mikecappella.com/logwatch ). Can any kind soul direct me to another place to download this tool?

Also take a look at pflogsumm which is provided by the postfix-pflogsumm package.
Example usage:
pflogsumm -d today /var/log/maillog
