Something similar was on the list recently. Here's what I ended up doing:
In config.pl:
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/backuppc_mail.sh $xferOK $host
$type $user';
And the contents of /usr/local/bin/backuppc_mail.sh is simply:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mailx root -s "Backuppc status $1 $2 [${3}]" </dev/null
You can make it as simple or as complex as you need. For me, I just look
at the subject and don't worry about the body. Status 1 is success.
HTH,
