I've ben chasing an email issue for a while and only just today I've put some time into resolving this and here is what I found.
I'm running nagios 2.9 and plugins 1.4.9 and I have a relay email server setup to accept and relay email to the outside world and this works from the nagios system if I run mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] (real email address left off) without a problem but if the email is generated from nagios it doesn't go though. This is an example tail -f /var/log/messages on the nagios system when a message from nagios is generated: Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: AFF24199CDB: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]:25, delay=0.09, delays=0.06/0/0.01/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 l8INLUvu012152 Message accepted for delivery) Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: name_mask: resource Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: name_mask: software Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/qmgr[2479]: AFF24199CDB: removed Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/pickup[2480]: C308F199CDB: uid=101 from=<nagios> Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/cleanup[2684]: C308F199CDB: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/qmgr[2479]: C308F199CDB: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=683, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 220 mail001.youmail.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:21:30 -0700 Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: > mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: EHLO ms1.youmail.local Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-mail001.youmail.com Hello ms1.youmail.local [10.1.1.28], pleased to meet you Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-PIPELINING Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-8BITMIME Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-SIZE Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-DSN Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-ETRN Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250-DELIVERBY Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250 HELP Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: server features: 0x900f size 0 Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: Using ESMTP PIPELINING, TCP send buffer size is 4096 Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: > mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=683 Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: > mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ORCPT=rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: > mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: DATA Sep 18 16:26:03 ms1 postfix/smtp[2691]: < mail.youmail.local[172.16.1.22]: 250 2.1.0 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...

Any ideas? Thanks, Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
