 running with a non-English language setting, you might try adding
 a LANG=''en\_US'' immediately before the bsmtp call.
 
+In general, {\bf bsmtp} attempts to cleanup email addresses that you
+specify in the from, copy, mailhost, and recipient fields, by adding
+the necessary \lt{} and \gt{} characters around the address part.  However,
+if you include a {\bf display-name} (see RFC 5332), some SMTP servers
+such as Exchange may not accept the message if the {\bf display-name} is
+also included in \lt{} and \gt{}.  As mentioned above, you must test, and
+if you run into this situation, you may manually add the \lt{} and \gt{}
+to the Bacula {\bf mailcommand} or {\bf operatorcommand} and when
+{\bf bsmtp} is formatting an address if it already contains a \lt{} or
+\gt{} character, it will leave the address unchanged.
