    You mentionned in your previous post that you cannot found sendmail from Linux portal right? Did you try to dowload from this site http://www.sendmail.org/releases ??

    Additional UNIX configuration to receive emails
    NetBackup uses the mail transfer agent sendmail to send email notifications. Install sendmail from the following website and configure the environment accordingly: http://www.sendmail.org/releases

    Notification methods
    To set up email notifications about backups, choose one or both of the following notification methods:

    ■ Send emails about failed backups only.

    Send a message to the email address(es) of the NetBackup administrator(s) about any backup that ends in a non-zero status. o do so, configure the Administrator email address in the Global Attributes properties. Since email is sent from the master server or the media server, the nbmail.cmd script or sendmail must be configured on the master and the media servers.See “Sending messages to the global administrator about unsuccessful backups only” on page 163.

    ■ Send emails about successful and failed backups.

    Send a message to the local administrator(s) of each client about successful and unsuccessful backups.
    To do so, configure either the Client sends mail property or the Server sends mail property in the Universal Settings properties for the client. Email is sent from the client (Client sends mail) or the master or the media server (Server sends mail). Therefore, nbmail.cmd or sendmail must be configured on the master and the media servers, or the client if specified.
