Sorry - Another Logwatch Question

[Michael Newman]

If I should ask this elsewhere, please let me know:

I have logwatch running on a Raspberry Pi which works just fine. However, I'm having trouble getting logwatch on a Mac to send the results via email.

On both the Mac and the Pi I'm using MSMTP as an SMTP client. They are configured identically with gmail as the relay host.

On the Pi I use the following in the config file:

mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
If I use the same on the Mac, it appears to work with no error message, but the mail never gets delivered. There are no error messages in the msmtp log.

I know logwatch is working because if I use:

Sellotape:conf mnewman$ sudo logwatch --output stdout
I get:

 ################### Logwatch 7.11 (07/22/24) ####################

Sending mail from the Mac on the command line works just fine:

Sellotape:~ mnewman$ mail me at mac.com
Subject: hi mac
done
.
EOT
Sellotape:~ mnewman$ cat .msmtp.log
Dec 18 12:50:18 host=smtp.gmail.com tls=on auth=on user=me 
from=me at gmail.com recipients=me at mac.com mailsize=178 
smtpstatus=250 smtpmsg='250 2.0.0 OK  1734501018 98e67ed59e1d1-
2f2ed644980sm487477a91.26 - gsmtp' exitcode=EX_OK

What have I done wrong to keep logwatch from sending results via email?
