I am quite new to Linux and to Zimbra and need a little advise. I have 2 server running a backup to each other everynight. The first server uses send mail at the end of the script to email the backup log created. On the Zimbra server I need to send the backup log I have created duing the running of the script. I can't use the sendmail command so could anyone tell me what I need to put in my script to get it to send the backup from the Zimbra server.
I don't want to break anything but adding software if possible as my server says there is no send mail installed
You don't have to break anything (you won't actually use the installed sendmail), there are instructions in the forums for what you need if you search with the term I've given you and read the posts in the results.
Whilst being a newbie I might be asking stupid questions here. I found the following post which asked why this person had sendmail installed so am a little confused.

Its seems as though you are saying it should be installed but not to use or am I getting the wrong end of the stick somehow
Sort of, would be the answer to that. The point of the post you quoted was to say that sendmail is not needed by Zimbra (nor any other MTA and therefore should be disabled) although most (probably all) distributions won't let you actually uninstall the mail package they use by default.
