FMS 3.0: Email not sent

[JPSelter]

I have created an action with command "email" and filled out all 3 fields (mail adress / subject / body). Then I created a template, added the action to it, here I also filled out all 3 fields. Then I connected the template to one of my hosts. The alert fires but no email is sent.

I used the EXPECT approach, from the command line I can send a test message with "smtp myself@mydomain.de Test Text", this works ok, no matter with what user or from where I start the script. So there seems to be no permission issue.

But what could it be? I cannot edit the default command "Email". What does it do exactly?

Thanks for any help!

I solved it myself... I created a new command where I put the "smtp _field1_ _field2_ _field3" command in.

Buuuuut... there seems to be a little bug: I´m not allowed to use spaces in field2... so

smtp "myadress" "Host is down" "Text"

is converted into

smtp "myadress" "Host" "is"

What´s happening here?

As you say, this could be a bug, that filed2 is not allowing spaces. Could you add the bug to our tracker:

Thanks

Is done. I wonder how other users send their alert emails, I can´t seriously be the first who notices this nasty little bugger ;-)

I finished my traumatic migration process from version 2.1 this week and configured alerts with the internal eMail command... Everything worked quite well...

I only had to add the mta_from line in the /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf file:

mta_from: pandora@myserver.mydomain.com

Should be:

mta_from  pandora@myserver.mydomain.com

Beware of the extra ":" dots. I'm going to remove from the sample conf to avoid future confussions.

can anyone put a "real" script to use expect or all the steps to make it works (changes in pandora_server.conf, in commads...)


thanks!
