Well, i'm not the foremost expert, but I'll pass my experiences and everyone 
else, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.


In order to send mail, if Zenoss is running on a linux box I believe you will 
setup a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) on your box, in other words, and smtp server. 
 But it doesn't need to be fully configured.  I think most people use sendmail 
for this, but I've had good experience with postfix (i've also gotten exim4 to 
work, but i really hate exim4).

Try configuring an MTA on your box.  Test it by sending yourself email from the 
command line:

# echo "Hello World" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you get your email, then things are good.  Then, go into Zenoss users panel 
and add a user for yourself (if you haven't already done so).  There you can 
enter the email and test (you probably have already done this step).  

That's all I had to do to verify that email was working with Zenoss.  I don't 
know much about configuring events yet, but I believe you'll have to map the 
user to a role and then verify that the events you are interested in have 
correct severity levels etc.  

HTH,

Carl
