Sending a notification through Gmail SMTP server

[JBo]

Maybe zabbix is launching zext_msmtp.sh with a reduced PATH that doesn't contain /usr/local/bin.
You may try to add at the beginning of the script:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

or replace

sed 's/$/\r/' <<EOF | msmtp --account ...

with

sed 's/$/\r/' <<EOF | /usr/local/bin/msmtp --account ...

JBo,

Setting the path did wonders. It is working now.

Thanks a lot!

You can get it to work without any additional software or setups. Gmail provides an alternative smtp server address, commonly used for printers and other devices that do not support secure servers.

SMTP server: "aspmx.l.google.com"
SMTP helo: "aspmx.l.google.com"
SMTP email: "[email protected]"

Some reports this won't work anymore. Can anyone confirm?

After much hassle trying to get msmtp to compile on my box that didn't have the dependencies in the repo, I Googled "zabbix gmail -msmtp" and found this:

Super quick and easy. Just change your username and password and you're done.
