Hi Denis,

In addition to Reuti's suggestions, a simple way to troubleshoot is something like

echo "test body" | mail -s "test subject" your_email@your_domain.com

Simply run that on the command line of whichever host is generating the mails (exechost and/or qmaster) and once that works, the grid engine mails will work also.

For us, that requires some configuration because we use Rocks and so Rocks configures postfix on compute nodes to forward to the head node, and then we have to configure the head node to correctly forward mail to the campus mail servers.

Regards,
Alex

I´m using GE2011.11 and wondering how to setup/troubleshhot job mails.

The sluster is configured with (standard) /bin/mail and the mail system is 
working well.

If i submit a job with:

#$ -m bea
#$ -M [email protected]

the job is processed normally, but no mail is beeing sent.

Do you have any idea what´s wrong here?

Is this a new installation?

Worth to be noted is, that the eMail is send by the node where the job ran. If 
this is inside a cluster, it's necessary to have some kind of forwarding for 
the eMail and also often to substitute the name of the sending machine by the 
name of the submission machine as node001.foo.example might be rejected by the 
receiving MTA as it can't check its DNS entry.

Is it possible to send an email from the command line on the exechost?

NB: By default is the mail is delivered locally, which could be forwarded to 
the submission host (this would be a convenient setup anyway, even for those 
users who want to get the email only local thereon). If then a file ~/.forward 
exists, you can save the entry of -M during submission as it will be forwarded.
