[Xymon] alerts

[Root, Paul T]

First look in the notifications.log (/var/log/xymon) to see that it tried to send something.

Not the alerts.log but the mail.log under /var/log (most likely).  Try running the 'mailq' command to see if they are stuck in queue.  Can successfully send a mail from the command-line (use something like mailx)?  If the mailq is showing lots of email or your server rejects you, it's likely a mailserver configuration issue.

This was a new install. The alerts.log file is empty /var/log/xymon/alert.log
No spam server in place.

Were they working before?  What is in the mail log for the server?  Are they stuck in the queue?  Do you have a spam server that might be filtering them?
