Crystal clear explanation. I've adjusted in bacula-dir config file, Client {}
section, password to match within bacula-fd file, Director {} section located
in mail.mydoom.com password and now is working.
Another interesting thing from your explanation: server (dev13) is ALWAYS the
one responsible to intiate (--syn) a new connection to client (mail) and not
the client as in general things are working in a normal relation
client-server!
Thanks for help.
