Hi, this is the most similar bug that I can found. I am using vixie-cron-4.1-33_FC3, when I turn on my laptop after midinight, May 11 02:46:56 logwatch start before the schedual and send the email from anonymous user ? After this run at schedual time and send normally the email from root user. After many time trying understand the problem, I realize this happens when I reboot or power on my laptop after 0:00 am and before 4:02 am
