OK, I have finally resigned myself to the fact that I can't find the
source of a problem I am having. A brief description of the problem is
this:

I am using Amanda as a backup system, running on an old SPARCstation
20, SunOS 5.5.1 (sendmail 8.11.3). The reports that amanda sends out
on a daily basis are rejected by my mail server (Courier mail server
running on Debian 2.2r3) because they contain 8-bit encoded text, but
they don't have the correct MIME headers. If there is an error and
amanda sends an e-mail, the mail comes through fine, *WITH* the
correct MIME headers. 

I could fix the Courier code to make it accept mail without checking
for the missing headers or the rfc violations, but I don't think that
that is really the problem. So now I am left with the choices of:
Sendmail on the backup system, Amanda, or the mail program that Amanda
is using. And, reluctantly, I admit that I have no idea where the
problem really lies. Any advice?

TIA,
Kenny
