No, it doesn't "really really" want a filename. If you RTFM: The postfix-logwatch utility reads from STDIN or from the named Postfix logfile. Multiple logfile arguments may be specified, each processed in order. So something like the following command should be sufficient: % bzcat /var/log/maillog.*.bz2 | postfix-logwatch If you have more questions on this, follow up on the logreporters[1] mailing list with a better problem description than "doesn't seem to work".
