Zabbix Sending Mail > Through Local Machine

[low10sws6]

How do i get zabbix to send mail through only the local machine
I've tried everything from FQDN, IPs I'm getting an error of
Wrong answer on RCPT TO [550 relay not permitted ]

the zabbix server is also running a mail, i want to send mail through it's self.

any Ideas?

sendmail configuration

First check if the sendmail is properly configured on the machine running zabbix server. Login as root (or any other regular unix user) and try to send an e-mail using mail/pine, etc.

Ones you have it working just configure zabbix to use the local machine for e-mail notifications:

Administration->Media Types->Email:
Description: EMail (or whatever name you like)
Type: email
SMTP Server: localhost
SMTP helo: localhost
SMTP email: [email protected] (your email addres or whatever email address you want to be used for notifications)

i hope it helps

but this could be possible my SMTP server : xyz.com

Hi,

As far as I know you cannot setup smtp authentication in Zabbix you should modify the security policies of your MTA for permitting this relay.

You can also open your MTA to everybody but it could be dangerous and your server could be blacklisted.

From my point of view the best choice in create an exception in your MTA for an specific source IP addresses and specific destination domains.

I hope it helps

i dont have sendmail, can i configure zabbix to send emails through external mailserver somewhere in internet ?

Mine is :
ubuntu 9(in the ubuntu installing , I choosed mailserver too,it will default install sendmail. or,you can run apt-get install sendmail after you have installed ubuntu.)/zabbix 1.6.5

while the installing of sendmail, it asked you to config "domain、host....",and I config the domain as "zabbix.net" or "myname.net",which you want is to be.

and when I first login ubuntu,I create a user with name "alertmail"(or any name you like),just create a user without doing other things.

then in zabbix,
Administration->Media Types->Email:
Description: EMail (or any words you like)
Type: email
SMTP Server: localhost(127.0.0.1)
SMTP helo: localhost(or the hostname of the zabbix machine)
SMTP email: [email protected](this parameter must be "the user you created @the domain you configured")

and then,I config zabbix item、trigger、action，then I can recieve the alert mail from zabbix server.

I am poor in English,wish it can help you.

Here is a link for using Gmail as a sendmail relay. That should allow you to send mail to users outside your domain....just have to have a Gmail account or use Google Apps.

After that is setup its just a matter of setting the email options in Zabbix to localhost described in the posts above.
