Hello, The solution to your problem is *most likely* to put only \"%r\" in the from field (i.e. after the -f option).
The handling of more complex from fields in bsmtp was not really correct for all SMTP servers (for the reasons you state). However, version 2.1.11 has a fix for this providing you use the form in the manual and in the default bacula-dir.conf file, which is not what you have in your conf file below. What you have below isn't going work on any SMTP server that I know of.
