I've been trying to figure out why I have stopped getting logwatch reports from my mail server, and I think I'm on the right track but it is confusing me. I have the /etc/aliases file setup so that all messages for root get sent to my telus address. This seems to work some of the time, as today I got a message that was sent from ddclient to root, and one from the postmaster saying that a message could not be sent when the network was down. However if I try to send a message from my user to root, or if I try running the logwatch.pl script directly I seem to run into problems. As in I don't get the message, and I get errors in /var/log/maillog that look like this:

Using the command date | /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail -v -Am postmaster will send an e- mail to my telus account. I have also used the /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail - bv command to check the mailer-daemon, root, and postmaster accounts and it says that they all should forward to my telus address. Any ideas?
