[email protected] is getting caught up by our spam filter for

At present, no, there is no provision for this in the Amanda
configuration. However, it would be a fairly straightforward piece of
functionality to add to server-src/reporter.c, with a corresponding
new configuration option in common-src/conffile.[ch].
Dan, do you want to give it a shot? Anyone else?
On the other hand, what the mail comes from is all controlled by your
mail configuration and host files on the backup server. I have a
separate mail server that is the only server that can receive mail. My
other servers are configured to not be able to receive mail, and to
relay mail through the mail server. The mail server, in turn, whitelists
my other servers. I'm on Solaris 9, and the Sun guide to the secure
configuration of Solaris 9 has a section on configuring Sendmail when
you're not a mail server. It uses m4, so you aren't just dipping into
sendmail.cf.
If you are trying to fix something after a server has been configured,
and you aren't sure where all the occurrences of something are, I've
found places where configuration remnants are hidden by doing this:
# find /etc -type f | xargs grep 'localhost'
where, in this case, the 'localhost' is the thing you are looking for.
The `-type f` keeps your find from getting lost down device trees and
worm holes and such. Then, of course, you have to figure out what that
particular file is for and how to configure it properly for what you
want. man pages & google and all that.
