Changed the path and now I don't get any error message any longer. Can't
tell for sure if works or not though. Am I supposed to get the testmail in
the inbox for the mail address listed below?

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 /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f sorin.srbu AT orgfarm.uu DOT 
se
backuppc@mach012 ~/ [0]$

This is getting tedious. I hope you guys don't mind my ranting back and
forth... 8-}

Thanks all for now, I'm pretty sure I'll be back soon again with something
else I need help with.
