zabbix email problem

[carlsum1986]

Hi,
I have set parameters at administration=>media types=>email

However when i trigger an event and requests it to send an email it fails with the error message Wrong answer on MAIL FROM [553 authentication is required ]

I can see this error message from the audit logs.
What is my problem?

I am using zabbix 1.8.3
i have set smtp-server,smtp hello,smtp email.
Not sure where I have gone wrong can someone help me out?

553 response is 'relaying denied' error. Based on the message you received, my guess is the SMTP server you're using doesn't accept mails for delivery to non-local mailboxes from unauthenticated sources and ZABBIX doesn't do SMTP authentication (yet?). So you can either add the ZABBIX server to a list of allowed hosts (check your smtp server docs on how to do that), or use a script for sending mails, instead of the builtin feature:

Mail servers do that to avoid and reduce spam
