backupninja is not the system that does the backup itself, it is a meta-backup system, things like rdiff-backup and duplicity are what do the backup and they would not stop working when a mailer was not installed. backupninja, on the otherhand, was designed to communicate by default, and as such removing the ability to send mail out is not as simple as moving the package from Depends to Recommends. micah
