While the idea of doing a custom patch on Amanda to force it to send from <backupuser>@<my.hostname.com>. I don't think I've touched C in about 7 years so it would probably take a week or two to get it just right. :P This backup server is brand new, along with seven other servers I've setup and configured in the last two months, and I came to realize a little after sending my original message that I missed putting my usual MTA on here (exim) and had the default MTA (sendmail). So I've now got it working as I'd like. Now for my next questions. :P --- Dan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]
