DESCRIPTION

       bsmtp  is a simple mail transport program that permits more flexibility
       than the standard mail programs typically found on Unix systems. It can
       even be used on Windows machines.

       It is called:

       Usage:  bsmtp [-f from] [-h mailhost] [-s subject] [-c copy] [recipient
       ...]
              -c          set the Cc: field
              -dnn        set debug level to nn
              -f          set the From: field
              -h          use mailhost:port as the bsmtp server
              -s          set the Subject: field
              -?          print this message.

       If the  -f option is not specified, bsmtp will use your userid. If  the
       option  is  not  specified  bsmtp will use the value in the environment
       variable bsmtpSERVER or if there is none localhost. By default port  25
       is used.

       recipients is a space separated list of email recipients.

       The body of the email message is read from standard input.

       An  example of the use of bsmtp would be to put the following statement
       in the Messages resource of your bacula-dir.conf file. Note, these com-
       mands should appear on a single line each.

         mailcommand = "/home/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h mail.domain.com -f
                        -s
         operatorcommand = "/home/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h mail.domain.com -f
                           -s

       Where  you  replace home/bacula/bin with the path to your Bacula binary
       directory, and you replace mail.domain.com  with  the  fully  qualified
       name of your bsmtp (email) server, which normally listens on port

       It is HIGHLY recommended that you test one or two cases by hand to make
       sure that the mailhost that you specified is correct and that  it  will
       accept  your  email  requests. Since bsmtp always uses a TCP connection
       rather than writing in the spool file, you  may  find  that  your  from
       address  is  being rejected because it does not contain a valid domain,
       or because your message is caught in your spam filtering rules.  Gener-
       ally,  you  should  specify  a  fully qualified domain name in the from
       field, and depending on whether your bsmtp gateway is Exim or Sendmail,
       you  may  need  to  modify  the syntax of the from part of the message.
       Please test.

       When running bsmtp by hand, you will need to terminate the  message  by
       entering a ctl-d in column 1 of the last line.
