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. LostSon http://lostsonsvault.org
