John,
Go to the "Event Manager" root and set your smtp host to a working
mail server (or install one locally).

I have recently installed Zenoss version 1.0.2 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
and did
not appear to have any trouble. I have successfully configured
users and

remote smtp
server and have successfully sent test messages. I have
configured a user as
an administrator of a small number of objects/devices for testing
purposes.
I have configured a postgresql service monitor for one of these
devices.
Things are going good at this point. I block access to postgresql
and a
critical event is generated as it should be. The trouble comes
when I try to
set up email alerting. I have created an alerting rule called
"Service
Down". This rule has been configured in the following manner:
Delay (secs) = 0
Enabled = True
Action = email
Address (optional) = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Where
Production State = Production
Severity >= Error
Event State = New
I realize that the email address is optional and have tried with
an without
an address here.
At this point I think I have configured everything needed for email
alerting. I force the postgresql event again and wait for an
email that
never appears.
I have thoroughly searched the mailing list archives along with
the general
internet looking for an answer. The first results pointed me to the
zenactions.conf file. After looking at my Zenoss config files it
appears
they are all empty. Unfortunately the conf.example files are
empty also. I
have looked through the Zenoss log files for any reference to
email and found
nothing.
I am extremely impressed with Zenoss and would like nothing more
than to get
the alerting lined out. Are there any suggestions on additional
places to
look or configuration changes that I should make?
Thank you,
John Williams

Have you tried looking at the mail server log files? They're
usually in
/var/log/maillog
John
Well, I have no local mail facility installed. I was under the
impression that this was not a requirement and that setting the
smtphost would suffice. Is this not true?
