i don't know about the -1, but setting to 365 will simply hold it off
for a year, then it will mail every day. "10000" worked for me. :-)
(actually, i just checked, and after a year i set it to 1500, so i'm
good for a few more.)
After reading the config file it will send a backup email after 365
days, then keep sending based on the following setting....
#
# Minimum period between consecutive emails to a single user.
# This tries to keep annoying email to users to a reasonable
# level. Email checks are done nightly, so this number is effectively
# rounded up (ie: 2.5 means a user will never receive email more
# than once every 3 days).
#
$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 2.5;
Thus every 3 days after the first year.
So i guess doing...
$Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} = 365.0;
$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 365;
should mean...
Only notify after 365 days if a backup has not been done,
then only send additional notifications every 365 days there after.
There's probably a cleaner way though.
