Hello,

this is what I have done about xymon mail service:
I installed QMAIL, following the steps from http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html.
Next, I installed mailx, and add my e-mail address in alerts.cfg in /home/xymon/server/etc folder.
Now I get alerts when something happens to servers. 

Thank you for your help

Regards 

Milana

Check if Postfix is running at all:
 
$ ps –ef|grep postfix
 
You will need to configure the main.cf file of Postfix to get it working but first, do you know what your smarthost is? If your Xymon server has full access
 to the Internet then there is no need but if not then you will need to route emails to a machine that knows how to deliver them. Your network admins should know this. This page give examples of Postfix configurations, I would recommend the “Postfix on a null
 client” and set the “relayhost” to whatever your smarthost server is.

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".




Best regards,
