- Note that sometimes "mail" and "Mail" are *not* (symlinks to) the same program, so don't assume that they behave identically. <history> At some point in the distant past (at Berkeley, I believe), som

- How did you run amreport? With the "-f" option to save to a file? If so, try is as simply "amreport DailySet1". That should send email rather than make a file. All this will do is confirm that your a

- I ran amreport like this "amreport DailySet1 -l log.20031004.0". This causes amreport to parse the log file generated from the previous day's dump. If I run "amdump" or "amcheck" manually (i.e. from
