Email

[hmjgriffon]

Why is email so freaking hard to deal with in this software? So I finally got it working with postfix, it emails me an alarm. Anyone got a list of the variables you can use in the email config to tell it what to attach to the email? Also how do I make the email work from any network? zoneminder is on a vm on my laptop and when I am on my network at work it works fine, at home it cries about an FQDN, why does it matter if my computer has an fqdn, it's linux! There must be an easy way to make postfix just work.

Hi,

One recommendation before complaining: read the forum. I believe that was yesterday when another user posted a step-by-step guide to setup postfix.

Use the search option!

yes, I posted a link to set up postfix, but it does not cover this issue, I searched the forum and didn't find an answer so, my question stands, thanks.

Hi,

Sorry!, so you were the user that posted how to set it up!, hahaha, I didn´t know it. Sorry again!
Check this out: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... ing_Events

I have configured my ZM server to send me the email with this EMAIL_SUBJECT (time, id of event and monitor):

Code: Select all

 %ET% - %EI% -> %MN%

The email body:

Code: Select all

Monitor  : %MN%
Length   : %EL%
Event Id : %EI%
Frames   : %EF% (%EFA%)
Scores   : t%EST% m%ESM% a%ESA%

%EI1% 
%EIM%
%EV% 

So it's attaching the first alarmed JPEG, the image with the highest score and the video.

Hope it helps!
