A few logwatch questions

Hello,

logwatch runs nightly, and e-mails root. I would like it to email someone else.

I saw in /etc/cron.daily/00-logwatch a statement:
$Config{'mailto'} = "root";

Is that where I would make the change?  There's no other config file?

Also, on some of our Solaris servers we run an hourly script to report
any "unknown" events in /var/adm/messages.  It checks it against an
ignore list, and e-mails out any new log entries that aren't on the
ignore list.  Can logwatch do that?
