Hi,
There have been multiple past discussions of email problems. Yet none seem
to cover this exactly. Here's what's logging, repeatedly:
2016/11/04 18:33:53 getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
2016/11/04 18:33:53 ossec-maild(1223): ERROR: Error Sending email to
localhost (smtp server)
It would be helpful to have better error messaging. What "name or service"
does it wish to know? What specifically was the "error sending email"?
This system is:
ossec-hids-2.9rc3 (via install.sh)
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Postfix 3.1.0-3 (from Ubuntu apt)
- which works fine when test email composed in mutt and sent
- nothing in mail.log at time of ossec's "error sending email" events
ossec.conf's only modification was to put in localhost rather than our MX,
as we don't want this dependent on an external mail system that way:
<global>
<email_notification>yes</email_notification>
<email_to>[email protected]</email_to>
<smtp_server>localhost</smtp_server>
<email_from>[email protected]</email_from>
</global>
Postfix is there listening:
root@rpc-ossec:/var/ossec/etc# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ossec.obfuscated.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
What's the secret sauce to get ossec-maild to be happy with Postfix?
Thanks,
Whit
