Hi all,

I wanted to test the mail function with BackupPC as described on 
http://webserveraddress/backuppc/html/doc/BackupPC.html#step_8__checking_email_delivery,
 
but got the below error message. I installed BackupPC according to the 
CentOS-BackupPC wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC.

Could anyone offer any insights on this? I though the backuppc-account was a 
nologin (or some such) account, thus a su isn't possible.

root@mach012 ~/ [0]# su backuppc
root@mach012 ~/ [0]# /usr/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u sorin.srbu AT orgfarm.uu 
DOT se
/usr/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail: Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead of 150 
(backuppc)
Please su backuppc first
BackupPC::Lib->new failed
root@mach012 ~/ [0]#

Thanks for any help or explanations.
