I am engaged in an on-and-off project to upgrade three Pi4s from Buster to Bookworm. This has turned in to an enormous PITA which we need not discuss here.
I am building the boot drives on a newly purchased Pi4.
As part of the process I have installed logwatch and configured it as it is configured on one of the existing Pies.
It works, but fails to send email now and then. I am using msmtp as the SMTP client. It works fine for sending mail from the command line. Here's a fragment of ~/.msmtp.log:
The 06:25 entries are logwatch successfully sending email. The other entries are me sending email from the command line after I didn't get logwatch email on those days.
There are no logwatch email error entries in the log.
How can I figure out why logwatch doesn't send email; seemingly every third day? (It's only been running six days so that's probably not a great sample.)
Edit: Forgot to include this:
