Hi all

Just installed ZONEMINDER on ubuntu 10.04 and follow instructions on ubuntu/zoneminder page using dpkg package.
All is working fine but the email function for alerts don't work.
Anybody can explain me how to have mail be sent form ZM ?

Must i used postfix or sendmail ? Is there an integrated system form mail in ZM ?


Thanks

Probably need some more info that is relevant to the email configuration that you have done.

Did you install the necessary perl module?
Did you configure the email configuration settings in zoneminder?
Did you create a zmfilter to email you (whatever criterias) for notification?
Is that zmfilter in background mode?
Can you provide us with your zmfilter.log?
If you want to include the attachments, you need to use the optional arguments that were provided in the documentation.

I'm using the folowing in my message body:

%EI1%
%EIM%

%EI1% - Attachs first alarmed event image.
%EIM% Attachs (first) event image with the highest score.
%EV% Attachs event mpeg video. (I prefer images because of file size, and have not tested this)

Honestly v1.25 is a breeze in configuring the email notification compared to what it was before when I was messing with it in v1.23
