Amanda does not use sendmail (directly). It runs whatever mail program
it finds (e.g. "mail" or "Mail" or "mailx", etc) and that program is
responsible for sending the mail. If you can get one of them configured
to send mail off of the server in some way, Amanda should be able to
use it.

If you can't do the above, you could write a simple script that either
ignores all its arguments or handles something like this:
mail-program -s "Some Subject line" e-mail-address another-address ...
then copies stdin (the Amanda report) to someplace you can look at it.
Then re-build Amanda with the MAILER environment variable set to the
path to the script. Make sure you run "make distclean" before re-running
./configure.
