[Xymon] xymon mail service

[White, Bruce]

Also,  since you are trying to send emails to a @hotmail account,  even
if you get postfix to accept html from Xymon,  you will still need to
get those emails to an email server that can talk with other email
servers on the internet.  That is the only way you'll get mail from your
Xymon server all the way to Hotmail.

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.

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".
