What does that line look like? Have you tried separating the addresses 
with commas (if you don't currently) or without commas (if you do?)

The .conf file for 5.2.2-1 (the latest and greatest) and the manpage at 
<http://www2.logwatch.org:81/tabs/docs/logwatch.8.html> seems to imply 
it will only mail to a single address. However, it can be configured to 
send output to stdout instead of email; it should be pretty easy to 
write a wrapper to take the output and mail it to multiple addresses.

(It's probably equally easy to hack Logwatch itself to support multiple 
addresses, if I'm correct that it doesn't, and send in the patch so we 
can all use it... race you? You're probably faster...)
