You need to replace the bsmtp command lines with something appropriate to the mailer you're using. Depending on the command-line arguments it takes, that may or may not be a drop-in replacement. For example, I use mutt for this purpose, and the default commands: # mailcommand = "/opt/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h smtp.caerllewys.net -f Bacula -s \"%n \(%l\) %e\" %r" # operatorcommand = "/opt/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h smtp.caerllewys.net -f Bacula -s \"Bacula: %n requires attention\" %r" change to: mailcommand = "/usr/bin/mutt -F /root/.muttrc-bacula -s \"%n \(%l\) %e\" %r" operatorcommand = "/usr/bin/mutt -F /root/.muttrc-bacula -s \"Bacula: %n requires attention\" %r" Here, the changes are as follows: - mutt does not require the mailhost to be specified - instead of specifying the 'From' name, with mutt I tell it to load a .muttrc file in which the 'From' name is set. On my system, mailx is a link to /usr/bin/mail. You cannot just directly plug it in to the existing commands, because it has no -h option and -f has a different meaning than it does to bsmtp. -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
