Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer:
Hello Doug,

thanks for using sbackup and asking this question.

sbackup uses Python's smtplib in order to send mails. It is not required
to configure Evolution or mail daemons like postfix/sendmail.

The error message you are facing indicates that the smtp server cannot
be connected. I use an account at the german provider GMX with following
settings:

From: my.name@xxxxxxx
To: my.name@xxxxxxx
SMTP server: mail.gmx.net
Port: none (optional 587)
Username: 123456789
Password: ************* (of email account)
use TLS: yes

Please note:
Unfortunately, there is a bug in 0.11.0...3 which prevents sending of email reports at all (see LP #706037). I've comitted a fix for 
this already though it will take some time to release an updated sbackup 0.11.4.

Best regards,
jean-peer.
