Backups failing

I have set up automatic backups to perform one every day and to send them to my mail address.
maiaddress is correct, but no mail arrive (they are allowed in my spam filter)
i have turned backup off and back on, rebooted the machine, deleted the mail address and filled it in again (saving settings inbetween)
no mails arrive[:@][:@][:@]

You didn't say, but I'll assume that you don't have an internal email server and that you're using Gmail or some other provider. Depending on your ISP, you might need to configure the 'Advanced' tab of 'Management >> Notifications' to have your emails relayed via your ISP's smarthost.

Thanks for the reply,
I did not mention that previously it did work, and i never had a smtp server mentioned there.
I filled in the IP of my ISP and set backups to run daily.
I will let you know tomorrow if it works, as i don't know how to test this setting manually (perhaps a feature request)[;)]
