I have been having some problems with email alerts with zabbix 1.0
I am running on fedora core 3 / red hat enterprise linux.
Mails are attempted being sent, but i get the messages
Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: NOQUEUE: connect from xxhostxx [127.0.0.1]
Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: AUTH: available mech=LOGIN ANONYMOUS PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5, allowed mech=EXTERNAL GSSAPI KERBEROS_V4 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5

Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: j78NQZ0M028291: --- 220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Tue, 9 Aug 2005 00:26:35 +0100
Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: j78NQZ0M028291: <-- QUIT
Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: j78NQZ0M028291: --- 221 2.0.0 localhost.localdomain closing connection
Aug 9 00:26:35 xxhostxx sendmail[28291]: j78NQZ0M028291: xxhostxx [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
in the /var/log/maillog file every time one is attempted to be sent.
The log for zabbix_suckerd does not even show any mail activity even when debug is set to level 4 for zabbix_suckerd.
I have hacked the code to dump zabbix logs to stderr or a separate file editing include/functions.c but no file is created at all....
it is as if the mailer part of zabbix_suckerd connects to the sendmail port on localhost and then just issues a quit command.....
I have tried changing the email to a script -
/usr/local/zabbix/bin/alertscripts/sendmail.sh
----
#!/bin/bash
echo "$3" | mail -s "$2" "$1"
----
and have set the directory /usr/local/zabbix/bin/alertscripts in the file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_suckerd.conf
Why is suckerd not logging properly?
And why are my mails not being sent?
