Al, How do you have the mail stuff set up in Smokeping? Are you using a 'mailhost = ' configuration directive, or are you letting it use sendmail?
I've not run across this scenario personally (I usually have a dedicated smarthost machine, and always use full-qualified aliases), but I suspect that SmokePing doesn't recognize locally defined or not-fully-qualified aliases. Some things I would try: - Try things like cns_des...@localhost or cns_des...@$hostname.$tld if your MTA is configured to allow those - If you're in Sendmail mode (no "mailhost =" directive), try using "mailhost = localhost" or something similar to see what happens. And vice versa: if you're in mailhost mode, try sendmail mode. - Find and remove the address-validation bits from the SmokePing code - Peter On 07/22/2010 11:17 AM, Sorrell, Al wrote: > Using SmokePing 2.4.2 on Solaris 8. > > Within my Solaris servers /etc/mail/aliases file, I have mailing lists set up > in the conventional way, such as: > > cns_design: > [email protected],[email protected]<mailto:[email protected],[email protected]>,etc. > > If I try to just use "cns_design" on the Alerts->To= line, I get an error > saying that I must have an email address. > If I use it on an "alertee" line, and I have at least one "normal" email > address, the config doesn't gripe, but others on the list don't get the > notification, e.g.: > > alertee = > [email protected],cns_design<mailto:[email protected],cns_design> > > Is this a non-feature or is there some other way to get this to work - the > goal, of course, being to centralize the distribution lists in one place. > > Thanks, > Al > > > _________________________ > Almon (Al) Sorrell > Corporate Network Services | Network Engineering Consultant > T.
