Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make sbackup better.

The bug you're encountering is already fixed in sbackup 0.11.4. Try to install it from our PPA https://edge.launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team/+archive/ppa.

The original bug report was:
LP: #588578 Email notification/reporting doesn't work with GMAIL:
test against string '1' rather number 1 when checking whether to use TLS

In order to fix this problem in Ubuntu 10.10 it is necessary to port this patch to sbackup 0.11.3 which is included in the Ubuntu repositories. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thankyou.

I have downloaded, installed and tested the newer version (0.11.4) and it
appears to be working as expected.

I appreciate your time to help me.

Thanx,
David
