Email on Alarm

[bujia]

Hi!

I want to use ZM feauture that sends mail after an alarm on a monitor.
I try this but doesn't work...

I have a www.libero.it email account, so in configuration I put this info:

email_to_send : mymail@libero.it
SMTP_server : mail.libero.it

and other field empty (email_address_from ecc...)

What's wrong?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Alex

i think so you need to setup an your own email server first. please use google for 'reverse zone', if you send emails from your own domain, or use login\password\address in the config for external server.

Could you give me an example of your configuration of ZM in order to send email, there are several day that I try but ZM never sends email...
What's my error?

sorry, i dont used this feature but i think you need setup your sendmail first (or what software you use for sending e-mails from your machine)
i dont think what ZM can do itself this job, ZM is not a mail server or gateway..

Really?
I have to configure sendmail first???
This is a bad things... I have no idea on this configuration...

I ask to other users that use email on ZM, I have to configure sendmail???

I think so... But, it's not very hard You can do this in 15-20 minutes, if you can find a good issue on the web (google is your friend)

I have to do the same thing in order to upoad events to an FTP server? Or I can do this only configuring in ZM option?

I checking the code of zmfilter.pl and next of the perl module MIME:Lite and Net::SMTP.. ZM doesn't need SENDEMAIL...it's completely autonomous........................... but I didn't able to configure at this time... ... but sendmail isn't my problem............
