[PLUG] Postfix & logwatch

   Postfix uses a file named 'body_checks' to examine message content for
typical (that is, repetative) words and phrases common in UCE. When it finds
a hit to a body_checks rule the message is rejected. Works like a charm, but
...

   When there is such a rejected message in /var/log/maillog it is included
in the daily report prepared by logwatch and, therefore, the report is rejected
by postfix when it's mailed to me by root. Directing logwatch output to
stdout avoids that problem.

   Might there be a way to configure postfix's UCE rules so that all reports
sent to me by root on the server are delivered without being screened by the
UCE rules?
