how to set SMTP and POP3 on Zabbix

[uknet80]

Hi Guys,

I am connected to the zabbix server but I see error messages:
Email*(SMTP)*server*is*down*on*{HOSTNAME}
IMAP*server*is*down*on*{HOSTNAME}
POP3*server*is*down*on*{HOSTNAME}
News*(NNTP)*server*is*down*on*{HOSTNAME}

Do i have to install mail server (sendmail) on my linux that is running Zabbix_server? Or I could just provide SMTP server, if that is the case where can is change the SMTP and POP3 setting on the zabbix web browser?

Hi,

That mean, you don't have runing this services, and you can disable this item and trigger monitor.

Yes.
You have to create a new media in Administration/"Media types" to define how Zabbix will connect to Exchange.

now I use Linux machine as Zabbix server and agent, but still i get error host not found as shown bellow:

server hostname is (test.linux.local), i have this record under DNS and /etc/hosts file, I can ping test.linux.local, linux.local, test and localhost too.

zabbix_agentd.conf file configuration is

Server=127.0.0.1
Hostname=test.linux.local
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log

zabbix_server.log
Sending list of active checks to [127.0.0.1] failed: host [test.linux.local] not found

zabbix_agentd.log
No active checks on server: host [test.linux.local] not found

netstat -tupln
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4232/zabbix_agentd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10051 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4185/zabbix_server

You want send e-mail notifications to an MS-Exchange (Windows Server) ?
Your Exchange must be configured like an SMTP server, and in "Media Type", you choose :
Type : Email
SMTP server : your Exchange IP address or FQDN
SMTP helo : yourzabbix.yourdomain
SMTP email : zabbix@yourdomain
