This part, at least, I can explain: mutt (and mail) knows nothing about
the aliases in /etc/aliases. It only knows its own aliases (defined in
.muttrc).
Thanks a lot!
To give something back to the ML, here's how to send an attachment with
sendmail postfix (finally i got it): this is the script I use to have an
external (sent via email) backup of BackupPC configuration (plus the
BackupPC_report report that quoted by mike, if desired):
#!/bin/bash
EMAIL_BODY="${1}" # es. "$(/usr/local/bin/BackupPC_report.pl)"
EMAIL_SUBJECT="BackupPC repot $(hostname -f)"
BACKUPPC_CONF_DIR="/etc/BackupPC/"
BACKUPPC_BACKUP_DIR="/tmp/"
BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FILE="backuppc_conf_backup.tgz"
BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FULLPATH="${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_DIR}${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FILE}"
# backup
tar -czf "${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FULLPATH}" -P "${BACKUPPC_CONF_DIR}"
# send mail
BOUNDARY=$(uuidgen -t)
(
echo "Subject: ${EMAIL_SUBJECT}"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"${BOUNDARY}\""
echo ""
echo "--${BOUNDARY}"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"
echo ""
echo "${EMAIL_BODY}"
echo ""
echo "--${BOUNDARY}"
echo "Content-Type: application/zip; name=\"${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FILE}\""
echo "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FILE}\""
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
echo ""
base64 "${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FULLPATH}"
echo "--${BOUNDARY}--"
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail root # or "your_email_address"
# remove backup
rm "${BACKUPPC_BACKUP_FULLPATH}"
