<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hello,<br>
<br>
I installed xymon server and xymon clients and everything works fine. Now I want to get mail notification<br>
when something goes wrong. I've added the following lines to my /home/xymon/server/etc/alerts.cfg, but I don't get any mails.<br>
<br>
<a href="mailto:HOST=host1@domain1.com">HOST=host1@domain1.com</a> SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory,conn<br>
MAIL <a href="mailto:minaqva@hotmail.com">minaqva@hotmail.com</a> REPEAT=20 RECOVERED<br>
<br>
In the /var/log/xymon/notifications.log I found :<br>
Tue Apr 23 08:17:53 2013 <a href="mailto:host1@domain1.com.cpu">host1@domain1.com.cpu</a> (173.254.244.156)
<a href="mailto:minaqva@hotmail.com[23">minaqva@hotmail.com[23</a>] 1366719473 200<br>
Tue Apr 23 08:37:56 2013 <a href="mailto:host1.@domain1.com.cpu">host1.@domain1.com.cpu</a> (173.254.244.156)
<a href="mailto:minaqva@hotmail.com[23">minaqva@hotmail.com[23</a>] 1366720676 200 4449<br>
<br>
I've done some researching and I found out that I need to setup mail server on the same machine where is xymon server. I don't know how to do that to work well with xymon, or what mail address should I put in alerts.cfg. I also don't know what mail server is
required for xymon.<br>
<br>
Please help me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
