amanda use the Mail command to send email.
You must fix your system so that Mail works.

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,

===== my test mail that worked above =====

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],

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.
Cheers, Gene
