Hi Dave
Sorry about the delay, weekend was a bit busy :)
My mail server is sendmail on both my home Linux box, and the company
file server (also Linux). Here is the relevant lines from my
bacula-dir.conf (email address has been changed):
===============
mailcommand = "/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Marvin-Bacula\) %r\" -s
\"Bacula: %t %e of %c %l\" %r"
operatorcommand = "/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Marvin-Bacula\) %r\"
-s \"Bacula: Intervention needed for %j\" %r"
mail = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = all, !skipped
operator = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = mount
console = all, !skipped, !saved
===============
Any email messages from bacula get delivered just fine on both boxes.
From what I can understand, the "%r" parameter is replaced with the
intended recipient's email address. So, in your config, postfix would
see a mail from:
"([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and it might be getting upset with both parts of the "From" line
containing a real address, rather than "(Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is
the normal way: (human readable name) + email address.
I would remove the full email address inside the ( and ) chars, and see
what happens. Its odd that the %r is used in the sender and the
recipients part of bsmtp, I think i`ll edit mine so it appears to come
from a specific address, but still sent to "%r".

Hi,
Here's the output of my postfix logs for the email. Do you have a
similar setup? Can i see your bacula-dir.conf file? I'd like to compare
what you do that works with what i do which does not.
Thanks.
Dave.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] error with email setup
what does the postfix log look like for this entry?
Just checking my config, and I only have:
"(Bacula)"
in my email setup, not
"([EMAIL PROTECTED])"

Hello,
I've got a bacula backup server running on freebsd6 with postfix
as an mta also on the same box. When my backups complete i'm getting
an error from message.c that i've got a bad address or syntax and i'm
not sure whether the problem lies with bacula or a postfix
restriction, everything else is working fine for both programs.
Here's my error message and the appropriate part of my
bacula-dir.conf file:
27-Jan 17:26 zeus-dir: message.c:454 Mail prog: bsmtp: bsmtp.c:85

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
