Hi David, I have looked at the log file and the problem is that my mail server is rejecting root's email address (root@localhost) coz no such user exists on my mail server (10.0.0.2). Also note that I have edited the aliases file, assigned an email address that exists on the mail server to root and ran newalises but I don't know why it's still sending to root. below is an extract from my maillog.

Have you checked the mail logs { /var/log/maillog } on how the Logwatch mails are being handled?
