SMS notifications via email

[Vanyuan]

Hi there,

I am in the process of setting up sms notifications via email server. This works via email by sending "[email protected]" for example
"[email protected]".

How can I configure this in zabbix for sms notifications to work?

Many, many thanks! Zabbix is gr8t :-)

Greetings,

How can I configure this in zabbix for sms notifications to work?

What you are describing is not really SMS as Zabbix does it, instead it is a simple email, which then gets forwarded on to SMS. As such, you could do this a couple of different ways;

1. Create two media types for each recipient. Under Zabbix, each user can have multiple media (notification mechanisms) assigned. To make this work, each user would have a regular email media as well as a 'SMS' media that would send through your SMS gateway.
2. Use your SMTP package's alias system. This method, you would create just a single media per user and that media would send email to your SMTP server, where you would have an alias configured that would forward the email to their regular email, and forward a copy to the SMS gateway. Personally, this is the method I prefer.

Our nextel's get their SMS via and email gateway as you where describing. Some of our users have two media's configured, both emails, but one to regular email, and one to the SMS...
