I'm having trouble getting backuppc configured to send status emails.  
In the log I noticed it's trying to use the -t option which doesn't 
work.  I tried changing the mail path from /bin/mail to 
/usr/sbin/sendmail, but I don't think that will work correctly either.  
The log entry is:

2009-05-08 01:00:43 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail
2009-05-08 01:00:43  admin : /bin/mail: invalid option -- t
2009-05-08 01:00:43  admin : Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b 
bcc-addr] to-addr ...
2009-05-08 01:00:43  admin :             [-- sendmail-options ...]
2009-05-08 01:00:43  admin :        mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
2009-05-08 01:00:43  admin :        mail [-iInNv] [-u user]

If somebody can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.  I would 
like to get confirmation of successful backups each morning for all hosts.
