Darn it - I can't believe it, but there was a typo in
the /etc/postfix/transport file. Can't believe that I didn't spot that
before. Now we'll see whether the next report comes through, and whether
the old ones are queued.
Unfortunately that has only partially solved the problem. I'm now getting
logwatch messages, but no cron ones. There is a small backup job due to run
twice daily, and I haven't seen any message for it yet. The job clearly ran
this afternoon, as I can see files on the backup drive that were not created
until this morning.
