That's strange. It seems like logwatch invokes 'sendmail -t' and creates
headers like:
open(OUTFILE,"|$Config{'mailer'}") or die "Can't execute
$Config{'mailer'}: $!\n";
print OUTFILE "To: $Config{'mailto'}\n";
print OUTFILE "From: $Config{'mailfrom'}\n";
print OUTFILE "Subject: Logwatch for $Config{'hostname'} (${OStitle})\n";
, when $Config{'mailfrom'} is 'root' and $Config{'mailer'} is 'sendmail
-t'. Anybody knows what could make the final substitution, then?
