    First figure out if your MTA is working, then you can figure out

    reports, or just the individual crontabs. There's almost certainly
    a bunch of ways you can slice this.

    If you fix your MTA it'll probably Just Start Working I suspect.


Correcting myself, once you have setup /etc/logwatch/conf/ logwatch.conf appropriately, too.

I don't have an MTA on this notebook, and my readings on cron mailings seemed to indicate without an MTA it is just a local mail delivery.  And since MAILTO = is in the crontab, I SHOULD be seeing these mails in / var/mail/root

But I am not.

There has to be something to process the email, so you need some sort of MTA installed.

Try mailx for starters?

Or does it need more...
