Hi,

If you can use an SMTP relay on some other machine or at your ISP there is no 
need for a full-fledged mailer like like sendmail, postfix or exim. After all, 
backuppc only sends mail so ANY packet that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail will 
suffice.

<http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sendmail&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any>
 
list the following:

courier-mta, esmtp-run, exim, exim4-daemon-heavy, exim4-daemon-light, masqmail, 
msmtp-mta, nullmailer, postfix, smail, ssmtp, xmail

I use "nullmailer" myself. Couldn't be easier.

Best regards,
