Since I don't know what MAILTO is, I suspect I've never had to have it
set before:-)
I looked around and found 'mailto's (LC) in my amanda config (it points
at root@localhost -- the amanda cron job script's another thing that's
missing). But nowhere else.
Is MAILTO an environmental var? There's no MAILTO in 'env' when root or
backup (the amanda user) or ghe (me). There's a MAIL in the users'
environments, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. It's
pointed at /var/mail/<user> anyway.

I just looked at syslog and auth, and I don't see anything that looks
like email in there. And I sent crontab -l earlier -- nothing in there
either.
What should I see?

Never mind, at least for a bit. I just found that the SMTP server is bent...
