This seems to imply that it's using the EMailUserDestDomain of
"@stevesDesktop.localdomain", so you might want to check your main
configuration as well as your local PC configuration to see if it's been
overridden.

It also seems to imply that the username you're using is "backuppc" rather
than "zephod."  This will be set under "hosts".
