Maybe someone can explain me when the host localhost doesn't exist.
Because then I think your network config is bogus.

You could change the setting by running configure with the --with-smtp-host=HOST
option but when you set that to XXX_REPLACE_WITH_LOCAL_HOSTNAME_XXX you also need
to add rules to bareos-config to change these settings etc.

Normally you shouldn't even get errors and the mail is just a extra signal
as we make postmortem dumps the email itself is not that important anyway any
more.

You can only do so much with setting values.

Only thing you could think about it that all shell scripts source a set of
variables which set things like the SMTP_HOST etc so the user only has to
change all settings in one file.
