To send BackupPC notifications I use "sendmail" (Postfix) forwarding the messages to a smarthost. And when I have to send an attachment I use "mutt". For both I would like to take advantage of "/etc/aliases" using the email address assigned to "root" as the recipient. With "sendamil" this is trivial. But how can I use the "root" alias with "mutt"?
It seems to me that this is a mail client question, not a BackupPC question. The answer is probably to read the mutt documentation, which explains how mutt handles aliases. I have occasionally used mutt, but never its alias facilities, and from what I've seen it expects a format which is different from that expected by Sendmail. Perhaps you will need to create a script which takes your /etc/aliases and outputs text suitable for mutt, possibly appending it to a mutt configuration file e.g. ~/.muttrc or whatever config file(s) you use. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
