Hi,

According to the following from the BackupPC docs I cannot satisfy my 
requirement to have a generic authorised account (backuppc I called 
mine) do backups for all users on a certain host AND have all the 
moreUsers of that host notified with mails about (non)backup status.

At present, the backuppc account doesn't have a mail address so root 
gets the $user$domain mail. Generally speaking I have the luxury of 
leaving it to users to ensure their backups are up to date in BackupPC 
but if they don't get the mails that might be less helpful to all involved.

Is there a way to get such mail capability in BackupPC at the moment? If 
not, is my request reasonable enough to justify some develeopment toward 
such a scenario? Shared workstations are not uncommon around here 
especially with 24 hours being 3 shifts of different workers(usernames) 
sometimes.

Thanks

More users

    Additional user names, separate by commas and with no white space, 
can be specified. These users will also have full permission in the CGI 
interface to stop/start/browse/restore backups for this host. These 
users will not be sent email about this host.
