Sorry about that, but this means the man-pages are wrong. mailto "string" Default: operators. A comma separated list of recipients for mail reports.

Re: Missing e-mail reports
Hi, a short suggestion: put this in your amanda.conf: mailto "backup" and in your /etc aliases put this: backup: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you get what you want.. at least, thats the way we do it.

Re: Missing e-mail reports
"name@IP Address" is not a valid address to send email to. You must use either "name@hostname" or "name@[IP address]". This is in an RFC somewhere. I'd use name@hostname if I could; I'd not trust the mail software to handle name@[IP address] correctly since it's used so seldom.

Is there something wrong >with my "mailto" line? Gerhard was mistaken with his suggestion. The "mailto" parameter must be a string inside double quotes and the entries must be separated by whitespace, not commas. First, do an "amadmin xx version | grep MAILER". That will give you the program Amanda uses to send mail. Then try it like this (substituting the mail program name for ): echo "A test" \ | -s "Amanda testing" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's basically what Amanda does. Make sure when you try this you use the exact same path to the mail program amadmin reports. You might also look in /tmp/amanda/amcheck*debug and see if it had any complaints. >Vic Cain John R.
