Were you able to get logwatch to check your mail logs? I tried everything I can think of and it is not reporting on anything related to mail.

Scott, I tried to reply directly to you but the message came back: <HHhelphand_AAATTT_pacbell.net>: host pbimail1.prodigy.net[151.XXX.30.65] said: 550 5.0.0 Access denied (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
Humm, interesting. I wonder what that's about? I assume you are the one that munged the actual address in the above, cause my return address is accurate and works. BTW, I actually didn't intend to send the message to you directly, I'm not used to KMail yet, I configured the folder to be associated with a mailing list and frankly assumed that it would reply to the list. Never even noticed that the original reply went to the poster instead of the list. Sorry.
would this be caused by a setting on my mail server? I host my own mail using Postfix.
What it may be is that your IP address is blacklisted _or_ your mailserver doesn't provided reverse DNS. I don't know for sure what type of spam checking my ISP does, but they are probably at least doing some of the basic stuff and refusing mail from servers without RDNS. The 5.0.0 access denied message sounds like a spam check to me.
Anyway, Take a look at /etc/log.d/conf/maillog.conf It sould point ot (for me at least) /var/log/mail default is /var/log/maillog
Is this what you needed?
That's exactly it. I'm so dumb, I had changed the entries for the archive but never changed the main entry. The minute I did, logwatch started reporting the mail stuff. Thanks! Appreciate it! Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.4-54.5-default
