RE: sending mail notification don't work

Did you install sendmail after backuppc?  If so, you should update 
"$Conf{SendmailPath}".

Otherwise, as backuppc, can you send mail?

        echo "this is a test" | mail -s "test" <recipient>

After you created your alias, did you run "newaliases" (if required).

What OS are you running?

Subject: [BackupPC-users] sending mail notification don't work


<sorry i've just added the subject>

Hello,

i've installed backuppc, and now i am backing up 30 windows machine, 10 
linux servers and 5 abroad servers.
it works very well, but my problem is that i don't receive email 
notifications, i've entered my mail adress in the 
$Conf{EmailAdminUserName}, i've installed sendmail too, and when i do a 
telnet <backuppc server> 25 i can send mails, but i don't receive mails 
from backuppc.
i also created the aliases file in /etc/mail/aliases.
some one can  light my canddle, or just an idea about what can be the 
problem.
and another thing is apart the $Conf{Sendmailpath} i don't see any 
command tu send mail to users
