Hello Guys: This is to let you know that I am getting email sent from nagios to my hotmail address. However, when I send to my outlook address (my email at work), I do not get anything. I guess that should be a problem with my outlook configuration. Now, I am working on getting messages sent to cell phones. If you have any suggestions on this, please let me know. Thanks. --Willie

Hello there: Thanks for your response. I am trying to get emails using both ssmtp or mailx. Whichever works first, I am sticking to it. This is what I am running on the command line as a test: [root@penguin etc]# /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: NOTIFICATIONTYPE\nHost: HOSTNAME\nState: HOSTSTATE\nAddress: HOSTADDRESS\nInfo: HOSTOUTPUT\n\nDate/Time: LONGDATETIME\n" | /bin/mail -s "** NOTIFICATIONTYPE Host Alert: HOSTNAME is HOSTSTATE **" [email protected] [root@penguin etc]# This does not show any errors. It just returns to the prompt. Using ssmtp, this is what I get: I am completely clueless. Please, please, please help.

Hello Forum: I am trying to set up nagios to send email and text (to cell phone) notifications. I have installed nagios 3.0.3 on Centos 5 and it is working well. I also installed ssmtp.

Null message body; hope that's ok You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root My command.cfg is as follows: I have looked at various threads about this, but none really explains me how to get this working.
