Email on Alarm

Post by 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.

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..

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)
