Sorry - Another Logwatch Question

[Fabien Auréjac]

Hello, sendmail is an interface to postfix, which appears to be on macOS 
under /usr/sbin/postfix
the postfix configuration on macOS is under /etc/postfix

according to this post 
(https://serverfault.com/questions/1032682/how-to-configure-postfix-to-relay-everything-on-macos), 
you may try to change sendmail path to

|/path/of/msmtp -t -i ||with the path replaced by the one obtained with the command: which 
msmtp |||

|The needed input may be different between sendmail and mail command. 
But it seems it's not the case between msmtp and sendmail. And I think 
your |MSMTP configuration may not be linked to postfix.

|You may also try to take a look at this post 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56937988/how-to-get-usr-bin-mail-to-send-mail-via-gmail-on-mac-10-14|

|Also when it comes to google mail with two factors auth, there are 
sometimes problems, but I think you disabled 2FA since you are able to 
send from the mail command.|

|Good luck
