Re: [Bacula-users] postfix and bacula bsmtp mail option

[Dave <dme...@wo...>]

Hi Kern,
    Thanks, that did it. I replaced that with %r as you indicated and it 
fired right up, sent the email when my catalog job was done, came in as 
ro...@lo..., so i then went in and changed the %r again to the 
fully qualified hostname i wanted and it worked. I would probably mention 
this in the manual, it might be useful.
Thanks again to everyone.
Dave.
