Odd. I do not have problems getting emails from amanda, also on buster. backup@hawk:~$ echo $MAIL /var/mail/backup backup@hawk:~$ echo $MAILCHECK 60 backup@hawk:~$ Bash has three variables that affect mail, MAIL, MAILCHECK and MAILPATH. The first and last specify the path(s) bash should examine to see if there is any new incoming mail. The middle one sets the frequency of such checks (if any), and defaults to 60. So I don't think those are your problem. Check /etc/aliases and see if that has any glitches. I have backup: root which says that root gets backups' mail. Further lines below that specify what to do with root's email. If you make any changes in aliases, run the program newaliases. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
