Mail notifications doesn't work[1.24.2]

[darco]

Hi,
my installation doesn't send email notifications.
I've already enabled email notifications in the EMAIL tab in options.
This in my /var/log/messages when it detect an alarm.

Code: Select all

I searched online and I founded this log.. zmfilterseems to be responsible for sending notifications... it must be enabled manually?

Code: Select all

10/09/08 18:55:21.633636 zmfilter[21651].INF [Creating notification email]
10/09/08 18:55:21.634511 zmfilter[21651].INF [Sending notification email 'ZoneMinder: Alarm - Camera1-104 (5 - 3 13)']

Thanks!

Hi,

You will have to edit the /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl file and replace the lines (there are two of them):

MIME::Lite->send( "smtp", ZM_EMAIL_HOST, Timeout=>60 );

with:

MIME::Lite->send( "smtp", ZM_EMAIL_HOST, Timeout=>60, AuthUser='your@email.com', AuthPass='yourpass' );

Hope it helps,

PacoLM

Thanks for you replay Paco.

I've edited as your post but seems doesn't work.
This is my /tmp/zmdc.log

20/03/2011 19:37:23.065857 zmdc[2704].INF ['zmfilter.pl' starting at 11/03/20 19:37:23, pid = 2803]
20/03/2011 19:37:28.565843 zmdc[2704].ERR ['zmfilter.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 9]

A question: I've to insert the sender email and password?

Thank you

[darco]

Noone can help me?

[PacoLM]

Yes, you have to replace the line (see that is different, I forgot the '>' after the '='):

MIME::Lite->send( "smtp", ZM_EMAIL_HOST, Timeout=>60, AuthUser=>'your@email.com', AuthPass=>'yourpass' );

With a valid email and password. Of course, you will also need to setup postfix, follow the steps thru the installation of it.

Hope it helps,
