Hello all,

So I have recently install BackupPC on a CentOS 6 machine.
All backups are working fine using Rsync, however we never seem to receive email alerts.
I've looked in the config.pl file and in the comments it says emails will only be sent nightly with errors and other info from the day.

Now we have made some test error backups yesterday and received no emails last night or this morning.

Here are my settings...

Please let me know if anyone has an idea of a solution.
Thanks
 


It does successfully send the test email using...
sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u MYEMAIL

Also thing to note is when I check the emails 'to be sent out'
I get output of an email with the error that I purposely created.
This command checks that...
sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -t

It never automatically sends this email.
Well maybe but not within a days time which is what I am looking for.
 
So there must be some type of bug in this because I got it working but it does not work the way described.

If I simply put the full email address instead of separating the username and domain name, it works.

So where it said MyUserName (in my picture) I put MyUserName@MyDomain.com.
