I thought that was what you meant but was surprised.
I don't know of any way to :) lie about who amanda is.

What if you login as amanda on the tapehost.
Can you send mail to users local to the tapehost?
Can you send mail to users on other systems?
If logged in as another user, not amanda, can mail be sent?

Sendmail configuration would be my guess.  Maybe the combination of
the Cw and Dj parameters must be adjusted.  I never see mail from
"localhost" even if sent to myself.  Perhaps it is because I have
set my sendmail to "masquerade" as just the domain, hiding the
specific system hostname.
