Zenoss can be now be configured to use an MTA on another system like an
Exchange server (eeew). See the Settings page.

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,
