$Conf{EMailAdminUserName} is the global admin user name
where the nightly administrative status email is sent.
The only way I can think of to do this currently is to manually
set the user name in each email body in the per-PC config files.
The default values are empty, meaning the value from the
language files is used instead.
So you need to copy the value of $Conf{EMailNoBackupRecentMesg},
$Conf{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and $Conf{EMailNoBackupEverMesg}
from lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm to the per-PC config.pl and replace
$user with "$user-alerts". If this is true of all your hosts
you could add these settings to the global config.pl file.
