You may want to have a look at LBackup. The latest alpha release includes support for backup specific mail templates.

If you want to use your backup script, rather than LBackup; you could use the lmail command to manage email delivery of your backup reports. 

If you are interested in rolling your own email delivery system then the source code for lmail may be helpful and is available from : http://www.lbackup.org/source
