However, do you have "mail" aliased? (I do :) And note, amanda's mailer is "Mail", not "mail". Does Mail work? > I have another question.

But the uppercase form does appear in the source code. I don't know if it might pick this up from the environment. I don't think so, but just in case, you could run your crontab entries as: ? ? ? ? ? MAILTO=<amanda_user> amcheck -m I.e. put an assignment of MAILTO in front of the command. This is called a keyword parameter and only sets the parameter for that one command. Ex. TZ=PST8PDT date would tell me the time and date in california without changing "my" TZ value. -- Jon H.
