Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.13
Severity: normal


I have added filter rules to minimize the log spam I see (since the point of logcheck for me is to be able to see only important messages), but I am getting an email every hour, even though the email contains only:


This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
such mail, you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify
its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).
