As it says at the top of the amanda.conf file, you can send a mail to anyone, anywhere as long as there is a functioning MTA on the machine, and as it says, a space delimited group of names if you want to tell everybody. In late versions of linux, this buffer for that list of names is quite a few kilobytes, so you can have a lot of names@addresses in there. The only thing I can think that might fool with sending the mail is amanda not having perms to send it to wherever. I see, in my logs here, a permission denied report for every email amanda sends me, but the mail is delivered anyway. I've been looking for that one off and on for a year. OTOH, if its not broken... -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.09% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
