I'm trying to think of a single thing that logwatch (or cron) would send about now that would be useful to forward to a random desktop user's yahoo address. I'm failing.
Most people would probably like to know if smartctl thinks their disk drive is likely to fail or if a raid member has already failed and they are running in degraded mode. And maybe if a bazillion ssh login attempts have failed.
... which should be pop-up alerts of some sort on the machine itself. Not sent halfway across the world waiting for you to connect to the internet.
