Holger,
Thanks for the information I ran that command after changing my
hostname and I got an email so lets see if I get a email from my broken
client

I'm not used to reading sendmail log messages, but it looks successful
to me
(DSN 2.0.0 and stat "Sent"), though the envelope sender address is
invalid
([email protected]) - at least I wouldn't accept that. You
might
want to check $Conf {EMailFromUserName}.
Are you sure you're not expecting messages BackupPC doesn't in fact
send? You
should only get e-mail if something is going wrong, not if everything is
working as it should.
You should be able to send a BackupPC test email with something like
% sudo -u backuppc /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u
matt AT mandtayres DOT net
(you might need to use a different method of becoming the backuppc user,
and
your path to BackupPC_sendEmail might be different). Does that work?
Regards,
Holger
