Package: bacula
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: normal

bacula fails to use /etc/mailname when setting the sender address in
outgoing status emails:

If your package needs to know what hostname to use on (for example)
     outgoing news and mail messages which are generated locally, you
     should use the file `/etc/mailname'.  It will contain the portion
     after the username and `@' (at) sign for email addresses of users
on
     the machine (followed by a newline).


 - see policy section 11.6 for more details.

Currently the fqdn is used, this can cause the bacula messages to get
rejected as spam e.g. if mail from an internal host (with an
internal-only fqdn) gets sent off-site.
