Ignacio, yes, there is... You can use variables in the mail command line

# Variable substitutions from Bacula documentation
# ------------------------------------------------
# %% = %
# %c = Client's name
# %d = Director's name
# %e = Job Exit code (OK, Error, ...)
# %i = Job Id
# %j = Unique Job name
# %l = Job level
# %n = Job name
# %r = Recipients
# %t = Job type (e.g. Backup, ...)
# ------------------------------------------------

mailcommand = "/usr/sbin/bsmtp -h smtp.example.com -f \"COMPANY Bacula \
<%r\>\" -s 'COMPANY - %t %e - %n JobId=%i Level=%l' %r"


We do it this way and substitute our actual client company's name for
"COMPANY" since we manage and monitor several Bacula systems.

What we get is an email with a FROM: line like so:

From: COMPANY Bacula <client_backups AT example DOT com>

and a Subject like:

Subject: COMPANY - Backup Fatal Error - Helpdesk JobId=10978 Level=Full

So we know just about everything about the job just by the From and Subject
lines which we use to filter good and problem jobs in our helpdesk system.

Hope that helps
