Okay, I seem to be making progress now.

I tested sendmail with the following command:

/usr/lib/sendmail -f myaddress@domain.ie myaddress@domain.ie < test.txt

And low and behold I got the e-mail through to outlook on my PC.

Now I've been looking at trying to masquerade the host name so instead of it sending from root@servername.domain trying to get it to masquerade as domain.ie.

To do this I added the following line to the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file:

# Who I masquerade as ( null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMdomain.ie


I added it because it wasn't there.

Sendmail seems to be ignoring the DM directive, any ideas?

Plus I have been editing the config files directly i.e. not using the M4 macro, does this make me mental?

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
