Just to clarify the whole chain, output (from jobs etc.) is piped to the  
mail/operatorcommand, which is normally bsmtp with arguments, so bsmtp  
listens to stdin, adds formatted headers and sends output to the defined  
mail gateway.

I presume bsmtp doesn't look at aliases, so for the above to work you need  
to replace the mail/operatorcommand with sendmail. Wouldn't it be more  
useful to simply point the mail/operatorcommand directly to the shell  
script and put bsmtp in there with some grep + if/then constructions to  
decide what goes where? Or possibly procmail?
