Hi,
the error is returned by the MTA smtp.1und1.de, which is first in the
server list and requires the authentication:
-bash-2.05b$ telnet smtp.1und1.de 25
Trying 212.227.15.167...
Connected to smtp.1und1.de.
Escape character is '^]'.

Your local mail utility posts the message via local MTA (you mentioned
postfix), which probably doesn't require authentication and allows to
send the mail.
To fix the problem, just use some MTA in the 'set mailserver ...'
statement which will allow you to send the mail without authentication
(e.g. localhost).

Hi all,
A few days ago i updatet from Version 4.6 to the newest 4.8.1 and i changed
the settings in monitrc to:
-------schnipp-----------
set daemon 90
set logfile /var/log/monit.log
set mailserver smtp.1und1.de, smtp.mail.yahoo.de localhost with timeout 30
seconds
set alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set mail-format { from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST.
Ihr freundlicher Kollege,
Monit
}
# Monit http server settings:
# ---------------------------
set httpd port 2812
ssl enable
pemfile "/var/certs/monit.pem"
allowselfcertification
# allow localhost
allow creutz:*******
# Event Queue
set eventqueue
basedir /etc/monit/
slots 5000
--------schnapp---------------
I changed the settings "set logfile" from syslog to /var/log/monit.log
And i addet # Event Queue
Since this time monit will not send any mails to the address. It produces
this Errormessage in /var/log/monit.log:
[CEST Jun 22 10:08:33] error : Sendmail error: 550 must be authenticated
[CEST Jun 22 10:08:33] error : Alert handler failed, retry scheduled for
next cycle
If i try to send a mail with
mail -s testmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It workt perfectly and before the changes monit was sending mails without a
problem. At this reason i guess (i hope)my postfix is working fine.
Is there any help out there?? (grin) Please
Next i try the old monitrc, but the problem is still there.
Thanks a lot and
Best regards
andre
