Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] E-mail Message

Because the Security Policy.
We cannot have two MTA in the same network.

There is another problem using the MTA with Nagios. When I try send
e-mail to Nextel e-mail, it doesn´t working because the Nextel check if
the source e-mail exist.

So, I have two problems.

Thank you.
Hugo

Why?
That's insanity.



Use Postfix as your MTA. You can set it up to not run smtpd so it will not
appear as an smtp server on the network. You can configure to also relay all
mail thru your Main smtp server. The installation configuration and setup is
very easy, much easier than sendmail.

Postfix is probably easier, but for those used to sendmail, the default sendmail config in most linux distros is to listen on localhost only, so this won't violate your security policy. Setting up forwarding is pretty simple too. Just change the 'smarthost' line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc. If you don't have that file, then 'yum install sendmail-cf'.

Add an alias to root on your mail hub for user nagios and you should be okay with your pager service.
