WTF? Why 10.1.1.18 is chosen for source IP?
Is there a way to specify wildcard for item allowed IPs?

facing same issue with zabbix trapper and sender

We are facing the same error when trying to send data from zabbix sender. Could you please share the solution if this issue was resolved for you?

I've stoped using zabbix long ago and created my own custom software.
Decided it's better for me to make own software than struggle with zabbix.

 connection from "10.1.1.18" rejected, allowed hosts: "127.0.0.1"

Abhiram_Cloud4c,
this means that, in this case, zabbix are trying to connect using 10.1.1.18 interface, not the 127.0.0.1 which is defined in your config file. It is normal, just add another IP to white list and voilà
