You don't say what Linux (or other) distribution you are using; but  
it should be possible to set the default mail transport agent at the  
OS level.

in RedHat and Fedora you can use either

system-switch-mail
or
alternatives --config mta

to set your mail system to postfix

Once you do that, then Postfix provides a program called sendmail, so  
you do not have to change any setting in the BackupPC config
