The big trouble you can have is smtp relay and auth to trust and accept valid email.
In one customer site I've setup postfix localhost to transfert any email to a alias (which contain all final dest). The localhost authenticate with a valid smtp-auth user on the sender server. Config is mailcommand = "/usr/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Bacula\) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\" -s \"[Ultimate-Bacula]: %t %e of %c %l\" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" Hope this help you a bit.
