Did some thinking and got it working, sort of...

root@mach012 ~/ [0]# su -s /bin/bash - backuppc
backuppc@mach012 ~/ [0]$ whoami
backuppc
backuppc@mach012 ~/ [0]$ /usr/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u 
sorin.srbu AT orgfarm.uu DOT se
Sending test email using /bin/mail -t -f sorin.srbu AT orgfarm.uu DOT se
/bin/mail: invalid option -- t
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
            [-- sendmail-options ...]
       mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
       mail [-iInNv] [-u user]
backuppc@mach012 ~/ [0]$

Now what? I don't see any "t" mentioned in man mail... Or am I getting 
slightly blind here? 8-S
