I have a question about sending mails in amanda. For example the 'amcheck -m <config>' command sends a mail if any errors are detected. The log file amcheck.<datestampe>.debug shows me the following content: ... amcheck: spawning /usr/bin/Mail in pipeline amcheck: argument list: /usr/bin/Mail -s "<config> AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I assume that amcheck sends the mail under the user amanda (as configured by compilation) but it seems that the personal config file for the MAILER (~/.mailrc) will not be used to send the mail. In the sendmail log i can find the following error: ruleset=trust_auth, [EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=550 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... not authenticated But if i use the following command on the shell to send a mail (under the user amanda): /usr/bin/Mail -s "<config> AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE" [EMAIL PROTECTED] everything goes fine. The contents of the file .mailrc is: set smtp=smtp://localhost set smtp-auth=login set smtp-auth-user=userxyz set smtp-auth-password=************** Does anybody know how i can configure amanda so that the mailer uses the smtp auth configuration?
