New question #141811 on Simple Backup:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/141811

I have Simple Backup Suite 0.11.3 installed on an Ubuntu 11.04 machine. I'm using the Gnome GUI for configuration.

I have configured the "report by mail" option, but when I click on the "Test mail settings" button I get the following error message:

"The test failed with the following output: [Errno -2] Name or service not known."

I assume I'm getting this error because I don't have a "send mail" process available to Simple Backup. Evolution is installed but not configured. Is SBS trying to access a pop client to send the mail? Or perhaps it can't contact the smtp server? And advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
