One problem I ignored so far is that the Bacula Docker container I use (pwa666/bacula-server:11-postgresql-latest) cannot send emails to me.
bsmtp only seems to use the output of the “hostname” command as the hostname during the negotiation phase. this hostname is some arbitrary ID, not a FQDN. 3422f1072002 --> HELO 3422f1072002 Setting the hostname fails in the container (but thats something to talk about to the container maintainer). my mailserver complains when the hostname used during negotiation is not a FQDN. bsmtp: bsmtp.c:124-0 Fatal malformed reply from mailserver.dummy.net: 504 5.5.2 <3422f1072002>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname I did not find a bsmtp option to override the hostname for smtp client. such an option might be useful. But my mailserver also requires the sending mail user to authenticate and from what I have seen in the documentation bsmtp cannot do that, correct? So I would have to use some other smtp client like “mail”? (which is not in the container, again a problem to clarify elsewhere) Best, J/C _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
