Amanda is using "mail", and it works fine (just sent a test message using "mail"). Here's what I got when I typed in what you suggested:
UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/bin/gzip" MAILER="/usr/bin/Mail" I have another question. The "/etc/crontab" file's default setup on my RH9 system is as follows: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly Under each of those directories, there are cron files pertaining to other programs (e.g. under cron.daily, there are files such as hylafax and slocate.cron). Should I create a new file called, for example, "amanda.cron" under "/etc/cron.daily" instead of placing the cron entry for amanda in "/etc/crontab"? I didn't think it would make a difference, but maybe it does.
