Ignacio, yes, there is... You can use variables in the mail command line # Variable substitutions from Bacula documentation # ------------------------------------------------ # %% = % # %c = Client's name # %d = Director's name # %e = Job Exit code (OK, Error, ...) # %i = Job Id # %j = Unique Job name # %l = Job level # %n = Job name # %r = Recipients # %t = Job type (e.g. Backup, ...) # ------------------------------------------------ mailcommand = "/usr/sbin/bsmtp -h smtp.example.com -f \"COMPANY Bacula \ <%r\>\" -s 'COMPANY - %t %e - %n JobId=%i Level=%l' %r" We do it this way and substitute our actual client company's name for "COMPANY" since we manage and monitor several Bacula systems. What we get is an email with a FROM: line like so: From: COMPANY Bacula <client_back...@example.com> and a Subject like: Subject: COMPANY - Backup Fatal Error - Helpdesk JobId=10978 Level=Full So we know just about everything about the job just by the From and Subject lines which we use to filter good and problem jobs in our helpdesk system.
