The <email_from> address is the generic one set by OSSEC (the server does not have a FQDN).

Just to clarify some points about the email credentials:

1. If the <email_to> address is, for example, myname@gmail, and the <smtp_server> points to a Google SMTP server, can I have the <email_from> address be any arbitrary email address?

2. Must the <email_from> address have to be a valid address?

TIA

In further troubleshooting email issues I have with a couple of

not being able to send emails to certain email providers, I have

that OSSEC is actually sending emails, but the other end is
rejecting
them.

So after installing a local SMTP app for OSSEC to send emails, any
emails destined to Fastmail and Google are rejected with this type
of
message:

< snip >
Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address
(in reply to RCPT TO command)
< /snip >

Obviously some email providers are not that picky, but is there a
way to
bypass this without actually setting up a FQDM?
