Message: failed while trying to send mail

Explanation: An email notification about backup, archive, or restore results has failed. The email was not sent to the administrator's address as specified by the email global attribute. On a UNIX or Linux client, the email was not sent to an email address that is specified with USEMAIL in the client's bp.conf file.

Recommended Action: Check the NetBackup All Log Entries report for clues on where and why the failure occurred. For detailed troubleshooting information, create a debug log directory for the process that you think may have returned this status code. Then, retry the operation and check the resulting debug log.
