You are thinking only about error output from cron jobs. Regular

usage)?
Sending logwatch to the log seems a little bit.. circular. But in any case,
logwatch does not use the "dump to stdout and hope it goes somewhere"
approach -- it actually uses e-mail directly. So, logwatch should have a
requirement on an MTA.
