HI,

Is there a way to change the smtp port that zabbix uses? If there is not then is there a work around so I can use another port with zabbix?

Hi,

You can use nbstmp.

Hmm, it seems that you're right, the SMTP port is hard-coded.

I seem not to get nbsmtp to work. I could not download nbsmtp from the web so I apt-get it - I am using Ubuntu 6.10. I followed the instruction but I still cannot get it to work. Please help.

Hi,

if you wish more help, please add more details.

Send your script,
Send output error,
how about '-V' option from nbsmtp?
What you don't understand?

Sorry about that, I am using nbSMTIP v 1.0
Here is the script I have been using:
#!/bin/bash

export smtpemailfrom="joseph.bauer@meritelgroup"
export zabbixemailto="joseph.bauer@meritelgroup"
export zabbixsubject="TEST"
export zabbixbody="THIS IS A TEST OF NBSMTP"
export smtpdomain="MYDOMAIN.com"
export smtpserver="10.10.10.3"
export smtplogin="MYLOGIN"
export smtppass="MYPASSWORD"

echo "From: \"Zabbix Monitor\" <$smtpemailfrom>" > /tmp/mail
echo "To: $zabbixemailto" > /tmp/mail
echo "Subject: $zabbixsubject" > /tmp/mail
echo " " > /tmp/mail
echo "This is an automated alert from Zabbix Network Monitoring. The message is $zabbixbody" > /tmp/mail

sudo nbsmtp -d $smtpdomain -f $smtpemailfrom -h $smtpserver -U $smtplogin -P $smtppass -S -n -D < /tmp/mail

I seem to execute ok - it does not give any error when I run the script. I then check /var/log/mail.log and I get this:
Jul 12 14:27:49 meritelzabbix01 nbSMTP[25242]: Error in parse_mail

check syslog I get this:

Jul 13 17:45:07 meritelzabbix01 nbSMTP[6894]: Setting auth_mech with a single character is discouraged and will be removed soon. Please take a look at nbsmtprc(5) to see the new format.

I am not sure why the mail is not being sent, please help.

when you do
$ echo 'test' > file
is VERY different of
$ echo 'test' >> file

if you do an cat in your /tmp/mail, last thing you probably have is...

"This is an automated alert from Zabbix Network Monitoring. The message is (...)"

change your script for use '>>' instead of '>', which append things to end of file.

And, add the field Date:

data=$(date +"%a %b %d %T %Z %Y")
echo "Date: $data" >> /tmp/mail

#!/bin/bash

export smtpemailfrom="joseph.bauer@meritelgroup"
export zabbixemailto="joseph.bauer@meritelgroup"
export zabbixsubject="TEST"
export zabbixbody="THIS IS A TEST OF NBSMTP"
export smtpdomain="MYDOMAIN.com"
export smtpserver="10.10.10.3"
export smtplogin="MYLOGIN"
export smtppass="MYPASSWORD"
export data=$(date +"%a %b %d %T %Z %Y")

echo "From: \"Zabbix Monitor\" <$smtpemailfrom>" > /tmp/mail
echo "To: $zabbixemailto" >> /tmp/mail
echo "Date: $data" >> /tmp/mail
echo "Subject: $zabbixsubject" >> /tmp/mail
echo " " >> /tmp/mail
echo "This is an automated alert from Zabbix Network Monitoring. The message is $zabbixbody" >> /tmp/mail

nbsmtp -d $smtpdomain -f $smtpemailfrom -h $smtpserver -U $smtplogin -P $smtppass -S -n -D < /tmp/mail

I guess this work.
