You might forget that this specific email is about transfering the important data which are contained into the .bsr attachment outside of the system :-)
Keeping it is local /var/spool/mail is not the best way to set a disaster recovery setup for your Bareos installation... You can comment that line if you don't need bsr (can be in specific installation). You can write bsr to somewhere in the filesystem you know it is not local You can use whatever script you want to send that bsr information somewhere you store your external catalog copy. Regards. so the bsr is completely disconnected of the user and messaging setting root as user is an old practice because all system should have a valid and working root messaging destination.
