Thanks for the reply, Ana. But the mail *was* from Bacula. My
bacula-dir.conf looks like this:
Messages {
Name = Daemon
mailcommand = "/usr/local/bin/my_smtp -h mailhub -f \"\(Bacula\) \<
bac...@example.com\>\" -s \"Bacula daemon message\" %r"
...so I can debug those sneaky mail problems :-) . /usr/local/bin/my_smtp
logs the behavior; here is its code:
echo ARGUMENTS: 1:"'$1'" 2:"'$2'" 3:"'$3'" 4:"'$4'" 5:"'$5'" 6:"'$6'"
7:"'$7'" 8: "'$8'" | logger -p mail.info
/usr/sbin/bsmtp -d 10 "$@" 2>&1 | logger -p mail.info
And indeed, the mail log shows the event taking place at 11:00, the time
the mail was sent:
Aug 9 11:00:01 ch0-backup-01 logger: ARGUMENTS: 1:'-h' 2:'mailhub' 3:'-f'
4:'(Bacula) <bac...@example.com>' 5:'-s' 6:'Bacula daemon message'
