Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.69
Severity: minor
The Default cron setup is:
2 * * * * logcheck if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10 /usr/sbin/logcheck; fi
This is extremely too often. Getting huge number of mail every two
hours is filling in the mailboxes.
A more appropriate default would be every 24h (once a day).
