<p>I have reconfigured Exim4 to allow remote mail, but I can’t find a way to
make the email alerts from hobbit/xymon use a different “MAIL FROM” than
“hobbit@”, which our Exchange server knows is not a valid address.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have tried making sure that the hostname is defined in the bbserver config
and that the domain is configured in resolv.conf. I also tried creating an
entry for “hobbit: <a href="mailto:hobbit@mydomain.com" target="_blank">hobbit@mydomain.com</a>”
in /etc/email-addresses<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I’m not a *nix guru by any means, and I’m sure this is something simple that
I’m missing?<o:p></o:p></p>
