The obvious solution would be to use strictly RFC compliant mail
addresses for the sender :-)
Let's see...

So, a mail sender address like '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' should
work better. Actually, assuming your system is set up accordingly, I
wold even prefer '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', but that's a matter of taste
as probably noone ever will have reason to reply to that address...
Unfortunately, I did not reread the relevant RFCs recently ;-) but I
suppose an address like '"Bacula system" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' should
also work and give you a reasonable sender name in your mail client.

Note that we're talking about the sender address, given after -f, here...
