Hi!
the `proxmox-backup-client` does not send out e-mails. But you can easily use `sendmail` (or `mail`, `mutt`, etc) to achieve this.
`proxmox-backup-client` should always return a non-null exit-code when somethings wrong so you could do something like this:
sendmail: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/sendmail.8.html
