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.
