Interesting: [...] Fri Jul 5 02:08:01 2013: thd-0x975dd00: amreport: invoking mail app: /usr/bin/Mail -s The Coyote Den STRANGE: AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR July 5, 2013 [email protected] Fri Jul 5 02:08:01 2013: thd-0x975dd00: amreport: error: the mailer '/usr/bin/Mail' is not an executable program. [...] > Run the same command on the command line, did it works? /usr/bin/Mail did not exist, but is now a softlink to mail. However, by copy/pasting the above to an amanda cli, it is not workable: Cannot parse address `STRANGE:' (while expanding `STRANGE:'): Format of RFC822 object is bad I'll see if fixing the "Mail" softlink makes it work tomorrow morning. It worked instantly when I tried it just now. But then it has been since I installed sendmail except I was calling "mail" not "Mail". > Jean-Louis > > On 07/05/2013 07:46 AM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > On Friday 05 July 2013 07:11:47 Jean-Louis Martineau did opine: > >> amanda use the Mail command to send email. > >> You must fix your system so that Mail works. > >> > >> Jean-Louis > > > > 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.
