OK, i have put in /etc/aliases:<br>
<i>root: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cosmin.neagu@omnilogic.ro">cosmin.neagu@omnilogic.ro</a>, \root</i><br>
<br>
The email account in Thunderbird has outgoing smtp server:
mail2.omnilogic.ro:25<br>
Also Lyle Giese gave me some more tips on how to configure
/etc/postfix/main. This is how postfix are configured now:<br>
<br>
/etc/postfix/main.cfg:
//everything else is left unchanged.<br>
<i>myhostname = mail2.omnilogic.ro<br>
</i><i>mydomain = omnilogic.ro</i><br>
<i>myorigin = $mydomain</i><br>
<i>mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
$mydomain<br>
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes<br>
smtp_sasl_security_options =<br>
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd<br>
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport</i><br>
<i>relayhost =</i><br>
<br>
<br>
/etc/postfix/transport<br>
<i>omnilogic.ro :<br>
.omnilogic.ro :<br>
* smtp:[mail2.omnilogic.ro]:25</i><br>
<br>
/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:<br>
<i>webmail.omnilogic.ro <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:cosmin.neagu@omnilogic.ro:***">cosmin.neagu@omnilogic.ro:***</a></i><i><br>
</i><br>
I have attached the 2 configs that i thing is relevant to Nagios
host/service configurations.<br>
<br>
And regarding your last advice, i have no clue on how to configure my
email client to check the email account on the nagios machine...don't i
need a mail server on nagios machine for that?<br>
<br>
So...can anyone tell me what is missing, or point me to some
step-by-step documentation?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
***************************************************************************<br>
Just before pressing SEND, Lyle gave me some more hints, and now it
working, i can receive mails.<br>
These line needed to be added in /etc/postfix/transport:<br>
mail2.omnilogic.ro :<br>
.mail2.omnilogic.ro :<br>
* smtp:[mail2.omnilogic.ro]:25<br>
<br>
Thank allot Lyle<br>

everybody,<br>
From what i see from commands.cfg, by default it tries to send email<br>
with: /usr/bin/mail -s.<br>
But the email ends up in a local folder /var/mail/cosmin.<br>
Can anyone help me with some documentation or some advice on how can i<br>
make nagios send emails?<br>
Thanks.<br>

<div>Looks like it is sending mail, and that mail is being delivered
locally. When you configured Nagios to send e-mail, what e-mail
address did you tell it to send to?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, look for a file called /etc/aliases. Open it, and see if
there is a line like:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>root: cosmin</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
The name on the left may match the e-mail address you gave nagios, and
the aliases file is re-directing that mail to the local user cosmin.
Replace cosmin with an e-mail address on a different domain. Or
modify Nagios to send to a an e-mail address on a domain different than
the local machine. Or configure the e-mail client on your computer to
check the e-mail account on your Nagios machine.
