Hi egrimisu,

As you didn't say anything about your setup I assume:
- BackupPC installed via apt-get

after installation of the package the postfix setup is started, chose 
"Satellite System" for "General type of configuration".
*|type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix" to change this in case it's not.|*
*||*
*|*then the config file edits:*|*
*||*
*|*****|*
*||*In /etc/postfix/main.cf add:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_password
***
noplaintext enables encryption for the password transmission.

create password file:
sudo touch /etc/postfix/sasl_password

edit file:
sudo vi /ect/postfix/sasl_password

add credentials (servername username:password):
mail.yourprovider.ort myusernam:mypassword

change permissions for the file:
sudo chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_password

update database:
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_password

restart postfix:
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart

set "EMailFromUserName" in webconfig or BackupPC config file. (most 
providers check the sender address, so make sure it is correct).

send BackupPC test mail:
sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u 
target AT provider DOT org

That should do the trick. If not, there should be some postfix tutorials 
or manuals.

cheers
