Hello, Theresa! First of all check spam folder in your gmail account. Probably gmail just in it mail from OSSEC, because they not look valid.
If you use SMTP server on localhost, check logs of MTA. It must be in /var/log/maillog. пт, 3 июля 2015 г. в 19:19, theresa mic-snare <rockprinz...@gmail.com>: > hi ossec'ers, > > > my problem is I can't send out any emails/alert notifications with the > ossec-maild process.
