So we also have a buddy system.
Every minute a cgi on each server sends an e-mail to
bu...@buddy.lightlink.com, and the buddy server records the time and
date of receipt.
Every minute a cron job runs on buddy which determines if one of

What about
$ echo Subject: ping | /usr/sbin/sendmail user%hosta@hostb \
user%hosta@hostc user%hosta@hostd
Out of the box (*), Postfix will send mail to hostb, hostc

All fixed.
Sorry for my stupidity, the target server majesty.lightlink.com
did not have 'majesty.lightlink.com' in its /etc/sendmail.cw file,
as its 'real' name is mail1.lightlink.com.
The command works perfectly if using the real name
echo ping | /usr/lib/sendmail
buddy%emera
which is way
complicated but should give generic results.
Example, emerald is the buddy server, and machine1 and machine2 are
monitored by emerald sending e-mail through them back to itself.
The following is complex:
Create a DNS record for each monitored machine:
machine1
ogram is usually not installed, but it can
be built from Postfix source code.
