I'm referring to the former. My goal is to make sure that the main backuppc
messages are delivered successfully before I attempt to create additional
facilities for the latter. That said, I have defined this information in the
config:

SendmailPath /usr/sbin/sendmail
EMailFromUserName root@[hostname]   
EMailAdminUserName me@[domain]
EMailUserDestDomain [domain]

What I fail to see (and haven't seen) is how or when the emails are
generated, though I understand they are generated when the backups have
completed. I suppose I would to find out whether I need to define something
within the "Dump{Pre,Post}{User,Share}Cmd" parameters in the main config or
not.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
