Gettting multiple logwatch mails

Hi Guys...

I have a problem of getting multiple LogWatch mails from my box. I have a cron setup to send me (and some other users) Logwatch report mail form our server. I end up getting multiple mails from all the boxes (other users have not complained of this). I cannot figure out why. I have checked the mailllog and it shows only 1 mail being transmitted. I also checked the cron files (did not find any)... and it also has only 1 cron for Logwatch.

Can someone please advice on the reason I am getting these multiple mails?

I am running the server on RH Linux 8.0 and 7.3. ON the client side I am using MS Outlook 2000 (on Windows 98) to down load the mails.

Thanks all...

NAME
doveadm-altmove - Move matching mails to the alternative storage (dbox-only) SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-r] [-S socket_path] search_query doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-r] [-S socket_path] -A search_query doveadm [-Dv] altmove [-r] [-S socket_path] -u user search_query DESCRIPTION
This command can be used with sdbox or mdbox storage to move mails to alternative storage path when :ALT=<path> is specified for the mail location. In the first form, doveadm(1) will executed the altmove action with the environment of the logged in system user. In the second form, the command will be performed for all users. In the third form, only matching mails of the given user(s) will be moved to the alternative storage. OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options: -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: -A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting. When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your data- base layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dove- cot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users. -r When the -r option is given this command works the other way round. Mails will be moved from the alternative storage back to the default mail location. -S socket_path The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket. This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket. -u user/mask Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org). When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user. ARGUMENTS
search_query Messages matching this search query will be moved to alt storage. See doveadm-search-query(7) for details. FILES
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf Mailbox locations and namespaces. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-*.conf.ext Authentication processes, including userdb settings. EXAMPLE
This example moves seen mails older than one week to alternative storage under /nfsmount: mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/nfsmount/%h/mdbox doveadm altmove -u johnd@example.com seen savedbefore 1w REPORTING BUGS
