<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#990000">Thanks for the ideas. But the notifications.log is completely empty. The MAIL lines in xymonserver.cfg match what you suggested. The permissions issue was worth looking into. When I send a test message I'm always sudo root. I've made the xymon user part of the 'root' group, but that didn't help any. I noticed there's a 'mail' group. I thought maybe adding the xymon user to the 'mail' group may have affected something, but it didn't either. Any more ideas?</div>

You should see something in in /var/log/xymon/notifications.log whenever<br>
xymond_alert thinks it's sending (e.g.) an email off:<br>

If you see that, then your config logic is probably OK. Double check your<br>
'mail' lines in xymonserver.cfg:<br>
<br>
<br>
MAILC="mail" # Command used to send an e-mail with no subject<br>
MAIL="$MAILC -s" # Command used to send an e-mail with a subject<br>
<br>
<br>
If you can send an email by hand, and those binaries are in normal spots,<br>
perhaps there's a permissions problem? Weird PATH issues? SELinux?<br>
