Can Zabbix Do This..

[rnichols430]

I was wondering if you could have zabbix listen for emails to be sent to them with notifications and then process the emails and do alerts based on the emails?

Directly no.

With an external script yes. You'd have to write a script to handle the inbound emails and then send the resultant state to the Zabbix server which you would then set a trigger for the inbound data.

So you could use sec to process the email.. but then how to get the data back into zabbix?

[nelsonab]

Two ways, you could use the Zabbix sender to push the data into Zabbix or you have your script put the results into a temp file which you then create a user parameter to read.
