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.

Sorry for all the noise...

Tim.
