Sending email through Task Scheduler 

The Task Scheduler action "Send an e-mail" needs to be able to authenticate before sending.

The Send Email action I set to use localhost for the SMTP server. The "From" setting is not used in the authentication process, rather the user account the Task is acting as.

The error messages I got through this process are:
Error Value: 2147746319 - Relay not permitted
Error Value: 2147746321 - Account not authenticating

Updating the server backup configuration to use GPG to sign the backups.

Export public and private key:
gpg --armor --export-secret-key [KEY ID] --output key.priv.gpg

Import public and private key:
gpg --import key.priv.gig

Trust key
gpg --edit-key [KEY ID]
trust
5
^D

5 Specifies ultimate trust, which means "This key is mine". Trust level of 4 is not sufficient for Duplicity to use for signing backups.
