Re: [BackupPC-users] /bin/mail: invalid option -- t

Actually I may have figured this out. Is it because there is no -t option for /bin/mail? Because I know that /usr/sbin/sendmail does have a -t option. Perhaps I just need to change SendmailPath to /usr/sbin/sendmail to make this work?

Once I make this change how do I test it to make sure its working without having to wait a whole backup cycle?

Any thoughts?
