Actually, the main problem seems to be that bacula-dir.conf specifies using "r...@localhost" as the default mail recipient, but also setting the from: to be the same as the recipient...
A common idiom is to set up an alias to send mail to root off the box to a central account - as the mail sent by bacula has the domain portion of the from header set to "localhost", instead of the contents of /etc/mailname, this will often cause mail from r...@localhost to be dropped... Changing the default mail commands in the director config so that the -f argument defaults to specifying an email address of: `whoa...@`cat /etc/mailname` will allow the default setup to work unchanged in the majority of cases.
