[Cialug] Logwatch not sending email to my Gmail account

[kristau]

Not sure on the maillog issue, but that status in the log you presented
tells me that gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com accepted the message for delivery.
Many spam filters accept all messages these days and apply the filtering
after acceptance. This is to help avoid spammers trying to discover valid
and invalid recipients, domains, etc.
