Description
I'm using 2009/10/26 version and I can backup my database to a file manually or schedule. But when I create a "email" destination and run manual backup, it doesn't work. I see a successful message log "Default Database backed up successfully to DennysDiary-qqq in destination email_dennys in 3754.92 ms."
I'm using SMTP module to send module and I use SMTP's test function to make sure the send mail function is ok. Is there any suggestion? thanks.

How big are the backup files? Most mail servers limit attachments somewhere in the 5-10mb range and even if you're below the limits email can be flaky with large files. The email destination type is really only suitable for very small backup files.
Try backing up just 1 small table (run a backup with all but 1 table excluded, and exclude data from all tables) and see if smaller files can get through. If it is a size issue you may want to consider using ftp or s3 for your offsite backups.

The backup file is only 984804 bytes... I think it's not size problem because I'm using Gmail and the limit is 20mb.

No it's probably not a size thing at less than a megabyte, but did you try sending a tiny backup just to double check? Are you getting other emails from the site?
