[Xymon] xymon mail service

[Andrey Chervonets]

I have never used the postfix, but per postfix authors words " It is .... 
mail server that started life....  as an alternative to the widely-used 
Sendmail program." 
So this should work.

Just try to test if You can send e-mail from OS with mail (or other) 
program then this should work.
echo " test body"  | mail -s " test subject "  yourmail at yourdomain.com

I suppose XyMon Server just tries to send mail using OS tools (like mail) 
or using direct communication over local 25 port.

Just try and check XyMon logs for any problem.


Best regards,

I am using Centos 5.7, and I have postfix installed. 
So, I need to configure postfix and create a mail account via postfix. 
That mail account I have to put in alerts.cfg.
I hope that I understood you well. If I am wrong please correct me.

You need just regular sendmail working on the host. 
If You can send e-mail from OS with mail or mails - then it should work 
for XyMon too (sometimes You may also need to adjust sendmail 
configuration for masquarading, SMTP gateway etc). 
Contact Your system administrator or check web for "how to setup sendmail 
on linux or unix".
