On my machine

[root@shannon ~]# 
[root@shannon ~]# su - backuppc
[backuppc@shannon ~]$ 

see changed user to backuppc

[backuppc@shannon ~]$ /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u 
[email protected]
Sending test email using /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f backuppc

[backuppc@shannon ~]$ grep root /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

[backuppc@shannon ~]$ grep backuppc /etc/passwd
backuppc:x:490:490: BackupPC User :/home/backuppc:/bin/bash

I suspect your backuppc user is not set up correctly. In my case it's got a 
uid of 490 and is a login account
