Change MailTo = to an email address as desired:

# Default person to mail reports to.  Can be a local account or a
# complete email address.  Variable Print should be set to No to
# enable mail feature.
#MailTo = root
MailTo = royalmcuc@yahoo.com

## After completed, we may run logwatch manually at the command line with no options to test:

and check email.
