I don't think sendmail supports a -s option, neither postfix's compatibility version nor the real version. Amanda is not expecting to use a mail transport agent (MTA) directly, but a mail user agent (MUA) that supports the -s option. At a shell command line, how do you "send mail directly with postfix"? While not germane to your query, I'm curious why you would rather amanda not use an MUA. -- Jon H.
