hmm.  sorry for jumping to the wrong assumption.  i confess i was
surprised that you wouldn't have thought of this.  :-)

i do have that configured, but have definitely never gotten that mail
to the configured address.  doing "su - backuppc" and running
    /sbin/sendmail -t -f backuppc pgf-admin
by hand sends mail corrrectly.  and i do get messages of the form:

    Date:    11 Sep 2006 05:43:18 -0000
    From:    [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    To:      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Subject: BackupPC administrative attention needed
    ------------"

    The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
    misconfiguration.  Please fix these hosts:
      - mulch (Unexpected end of tar archive)

    PC Backup Genie

so i'd say mail itself is working.

last night's log does contain the line:
2006-10-15 01:00:00 24hr disk usage: 96% max, 96% recent, 22 skipped hosts

so backuppc was aware of the error, and $Info{DUDailySkipHostCntPrev} was
nonzero, which should have triggered the mail.  i'm somewhat confused.
