I had the same issue as soon as I had set up spamassassin correctly as well as my other mail stuff. I use procmail and adding the email address to the whitelist is the way to go. You can set the email in the logwatch files for where it goes and where it comes from. Mine came from 'logwa...@mail.myserver.com' and I just white listed that. It was the only way I could get it to work. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The situation seems to have remedied itself with a log rotation (scheduled). Once the offending stuff was no longer part of the body of the logwatch emails, Mailscanner/clamd had nothing to complain about and this morning I find the weekend's logwatch emails nestled comfortably in root's inbox. Next step for me is finding where to allow logwatch emails regardless of their contents.
