Yes, as far as Linux/Nagios is concerned they are standard messages to
SMTP addresses.
>Have you verified that sendmail is behaving itself as a normal mail
server on the Internet? It has valid public reverse DNS? Forward DNS
matches reverse DNS? HELO name is a valid FQDN, preferably matching
reverse DNS for the IP? What do your sendmail logs show? Is there a
bounce generated?
We use the same Nagios command to send successfully to the SMS addresses
([EMAIL PROTECTED] vs [EMAIL PROTECTED] for MMS) of the same phones (i.e.
using the same SMTP servers to get out). The sendmail logs show the
messages as being delivered Okay. I did some testing, I'm trying
different things to try and discover where the problem lies.
Test: Send 10 messages from old RH/sendmail box to MMS address of cell
phone, Send 10 messages from new RH/sendmail box to MMS address of cell
phone, Send 10 messages from windows box (with sendmail port) to the MMS
address of cell phone. All messages are sent one after another from the
command line.
Results: Usually all 10 of the messages from the Windows box come
through, though not always. Some of the Linux generated messages come
through I've gotten as many as 4 and as few as none. The new versus old
versions of Linux and Sendmail do not seem to make a difference. The
messages will come through on occasion but not consistently. Not good
for a monitoring solution.
I should rephrase my original questions:
Is anyone else using MMS to receive Nagios alerts?
Do you ever notice any alerts not getting to your phone?
What provider are you using?
Thanks,
-greg
