I just noticed that we have a bunch of undeliverable messages piling up in the

sending to r...@domain.com. However, since the FQDN in main.cf is defined as
host.subdomain.domain.com it's appending the whole string.
What's the most stable way to encourage everything to go to r...@domain.com
instead? Thanks!
You could explicitly set the destination e-mail (use "--mailto user@domain").
Otherwise logwatch will use whatever is in $MAILTO if defined (you can define it
in your crontab if you run logwatch from cron).
As a last resort, logwatch will send to "root", which is probably what happens
in your case, and any subsequent modification requires Postfix.
But I'd recommend just using logwatch's "--mailto" option.
