i'm trying to configure logwatch and the configuration file is set to /bin/mail. since i removed sendmail, i suppose /bin/mail is no longer working even though i have not removed it yet. when i try changing it to call the qmail /sbin/sendmail wrapper i get this error message:

Code:
sendmail: illegal option -- s
sendmail: usage: sendmail [ -t ] [ -fsender ] [ -Fname ] [ -bp ] [ -bs ] [ arg ... ]
Broken pipe

i guess logwatch is configured to only accept /bin/mail. any idea how i can get an qmail replacement for /bin/mail that accepts the same parameters etc. or how i can make this work by using the qmail sendmail wrapper? thanks.
