I have confirmed that logwatch does respect the MailFrom but it is lost
somewhere on the way. I can see that the From header that logwatch
generates does include the correct address but it seems that sendmail
does not pick it up.

my solution is to provide the address directly to sendmail using
	mailer = "sendmail -t -fuser at domain"
in my /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

cheers
