Thanks Carl
Yep I understand all this, and the below
is when incorporated into one of the exit notify scripts, however I am not
utiliding any of these.
If you turn on the SERVER to send mail on
all clients, somewhere in the NBU binaries mails are being sent.
Have just learned that from the library /opt/openv/lib/libVbp.so
the “mail” program is
being used so will endeavour to check the servers mail.cr to possibly
masquerade.

exit notify
Here is what I did. I added the sendmail call in my
script and have the script "su" to the allowed user before calling
sendmail.
Something
like this:
su
$EMAILUSER -c "cat $RPT_DESTN_DIR/some_report.txt|/usr/lib/sendmail -f
$SENDER_EMAIL -t $RECIPIENT_LIST "
Notice
that sendmail had the -f parameter, this changed the from and $SENDER_EMAIL
could be your david.clooney AT bankofamerica DOT com
$EMAILUSER
is the non-root user that has a valid account on the system. $RECIPIENT_LIST
is the e-mail addresses to send the message to.
Hope
this helps

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backup exit notify

Thanks everyone
Just did a bit of digging around as I am quite aware of the
exit notify scripts and have now totally bypassed them i.e
I have removed all notify scripts from the bin directory.
Settings on the CLIENT
USEMAIL = david.clooney AT bankofamerica DOT com
SERVER_SENDS_MAIL = YES
Upon the completion of a backup I still get a confirmation
email from root AT masterserver DOT com.
I am convinced this is incorporated into a binary somewhere
and as NBU runs as root when the mail is sent it picks up the user, this I need
to change somehow
Am I going mad ?

We set up a special account that is allowed to send e-mail from the server
being backed up, and "su"-ed to that user before calling sendmail.

Does anyone know how to change the senders address when backup notify is
executed on the master server?
i.e. at the moment we get root AT masterserver DOT com
Need to change it to adhere to policy
Thanks
Dave
