Jason,
On unix you always need a local MTA to send email. You could have a full fledged email server like sendmail or postfix, or just ssmtp that receives the local mail and relays it to your "real" smtp server.
Postfix can do that too, with you instruction you we're given.
JFFNMS takes the email address from the User Profile.

Hi OK, I'm still pretty lost on this...how does JFFNMS know where to send its mail to? I don't need to run a mail server on jffnms just to have it send mail to my exchange server...do I? Maybe you can show me an example of what needs to be done... As I thought postfix, sendmail etc. were just mail servers, and all I need is a mail client (external to jffnms?). Thanks for any help.

Oups ... the line to add in the file transport
* smtp:yoursmarthost
don't forget to regenerate the routing table of postfix
by doing something like
# postmap /etc/postfix/transport

Ok, I think fedora uses postfix as default MTA, see the "/etc/postfix/transport" and man transport for additional precisions

Hi Thanks again, but I could not find anything about how to configure the Fedora built in mail command/server. I run that mail command you listed below and it works (by works I mean the command exists), but I cant find anything in the man pages about how to configure this. Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
The config of the server where you send mails is part of the MTA
configuration, your box can use exim, postfix, sendmail etc ...
Are you able to send a mail from your box ?
# mail -s "This is a test" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
check your maillog and see if the mail is relayed by your smarthost (mostly your ISP SMTP server or corporate mail-relay).
Hope that's help

Hi Thanks for the response...but I still am unclear as to how/where to configure the address of the mail server and the logic behind the triggers...anyone have a guide on that? Thanks.

So, I see that there is already an SLA created for this Input Traffic < 95%, so I've added this to the interface and now I want to have JFFNMS alert on this condition. I know that in JFFNMS these are called triggers, and I want to send an email when this happens, but I cant find the spot to specify the mailserver and really don't understand the syntax of the Triggers. Could someone please help me out. Thanks.
JFFNMS uses the PHP mail command, so how it routes the mail to the mailserver really depends on how your server does it.
You apply triggers to users and the email gets sent to the email address that appears in the users profile. No email address in profile = no email.
Turning on logging can help you too.
