According to my experience, one cannot do w/o sendmail in such
a situation unless something else is installed (e.g., postfix
instead of sendmail+procmail). Notice though that both logwatch
and chkrootkit can just write their reports to a file, e.g.,
/home/marcus/logwatch_report.txt, instead of sending them via
e-mail.
