I've done quite a bit of fooling around, ripping out the bsd-mail stuff and installing the GNU mailutils and sendmail. I have successfully su'd to amanda and sent gene an email. But despite the mailto: "[email protected]" line at the top of my working amanda.conf, the mail itself from amanda is sent to amanda. >From the /var/log/mail.log, using "grep sendmail mail.log|grep amanda": Jul 3 16:20:37 coyote sendmail[18397]: r63KKbV2018397: from=amanda, size=184, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=amanda@localhost Jul 3 16:20:37 coyote sendmail[18397]: r63KKbV2018397: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=amanda (1001/1002), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30184, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (r63KKbmW018398 Message accepted for delivery) ===== my test mail that worked above ===== Jul 4 02:02:46 coyote sendmail[16012]: r645K1Np016012: from=amanda, size=711, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=amanda@localhost Jul 4 02:02:46 coyote sendmail[16012]: r645K1Np016012: to=amanda, ctladdr=amanda (1001/1002), delay=00:42:45, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30711, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (r6462kMf019315 Message accepted for delivery) Jul 5 02:08:34 coyote sendmail[3977]: r655K16f003977: from=amanda, size=711, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=amanda@localhost Jul 5 02:08:34 coyote sendmail[3977]: r655K16f003977: to=amanda, ctladdr=amanda (1001/1002), delay=00:48:33, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30711, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (r6568YNX007277 Message accepted for delivery) And at the time it writes to /var/spool/mail/amanda, it helpfully resets the perms to 0600, and kmail, running as me, cannot touch it. So, where is that mailto: line in amanda.conf getting lost? My wrapper scripts do not touch this AFAIK. And I just did su - amanda, and sent me another email, getting this in the mail.log: Jul 5 07:34:35 coyote sendmail[23789]: r65BYZEm023789: from=amanda, size=172, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=amanda@localhost Jul 5 07:34:35 coyote sendmail[23789]: r65BYZEm023789: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=amanda (1001/1002), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30172, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (r65BYZPf023792 Message accepted for delivery) So it works, amd kmail got the msg. Why amanda itself cannot follow orders here? Is there something wrong with my "mailto:";? I see in the example/amanda.conf, the FQDN isn't used, so I'll remove that for S&G. I just tested it by hand as amanda, and it worked, but it did add the missing FQDN in the sendmail log. I'm snookered here. Out of ideas IOW.
