Well, login as bacula and run this command /etc/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h mail.tele.dk -f "(Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -s "Bacula: Backup OK of epohost-fd Full" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When this works, the problems in bacula will go away. As for why it does a DNS query - it needs its own hostname for the SMTP transaction. Edit /etc/hosts and be done with it.
