The amavis-logwatch and postfix-logwatch utilities on this site will always have the latest code, containing new features and bug fixes. Note: as of 5/24/2008, due to licensing discrepancies, the logwatch project and I have agreed it is necessary to revert both of the amavis and postfix service scripts to very old versions. Logwatch will no longer be including postfix-logwatch and amavis-logwatch in their distribution. The postfix-logwatch and amavis-logwatch code falls under GPL2, whereas the logwatch project under the MIT/X11 license. Users wanting current capabilities from within logwatch should download and install the latest stable or development release of postfix-logwatch and amavis-logwatch.
