    Not able to send authenticated SMTP emails on Zabbix 3.0.8

    Hi,

    I installed zabbix server 3.0.8 using rpm on centos 6.
    I have now set up email media and using it in one of the actions for trigger.

    When the action gets executed mail is not sent and following message is displayed:
    "Support for SMTP authentication was not compiled in"

    I am not sure why compilation should matter if I have used rpm to install.

    curl version is : curl 7.40.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.40.0 NSS/3.19.1 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2


    I get following message in logs when I start zabbix server:

    27429:20170407:092015.226 Starting Zabbix Server. Zabbix 3.0.8 (revision 65976).

    Can anyone please tell me why this would happen?

          In the package provided by Zabbix LLC, it is built by OS standard package and built.
          For RHEL 6 (CentOS 6), the standard curl package version is 7.19.
          And SMTP Authentication can not be used because it determines whether SMTP Authentication can be used during Zabbix package build.

          You will need to rebuild the Zabbix binaries using the new curl library.
          Or, if you use RHEL 7 (CentOS 7), you can use SMTP Authentication with the package published by Zabbix LLC.

              For those that are having trouble with smtp authentication in Centos 6, here is what I did to compile in authentication:

              # use whatever url you need to download the source
              curl -L -O 'https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zabbix/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/3.4.1/zabbix-3.4.1.tar.gz?r=&ts=1505492115&use_mirror=svwh'

              mv zabbix-3.4.1.tar.gz\?r=\&ts=1505492115\&use_mirror=svwh zabbix-3.4.1.tar.gz

              tar -xf zabbix-3.4.1.tar.gz

              cd zabbix-3.4.1

              ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2 --with-openssl --with-ssh2 --with-openipmi --with-ldap

              make install

              # had to move the binary since the rpm installed "/usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql" and that is what the service expected
              (if needed) mv /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql
