Package: logwatch
Version: 7.3-1
Severity: normal
I run logwatch in the default setup and use postfix as my MTA with body_checks
enabled.
For each message discarded or rejected by postfix, logwatch reproduces
the messages, causing the mail from logwatch to be discarded or
rejected. The mail from logwatch will automatically match the
body_checks rules :-(
I have run without body_checks for some time, and suffered spam in
truckloads for it.
I recently discovered mime-construct and have been able to work around
the problem in this way.
I have installed mime-construct and replaced
/etc/cron.daily/00logwatch with this:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#Check if removed-but-not-purged
test -x /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl || exit 0
test -x /usr/bin/mime-construct
#execute
mime-construct --to root --subject "Logwatch for $(hostname -s)" --encoding
base64 --file '/usr/sbin/logwatch --print |'
---------------------------------
It will base64 encode the log summary from logwatch and hence allow it
to escape the body_checks rules.
Its probably not the best solution but it does allow me to get my
logwatch mails and still have body_checks enabled in postfix.

I'm closing this bug, after rethinking it doesn't make sense to keep it
open.
