I'm pretty sure gmail requires authentication. So you'll have to relay the OSSEC emails through an smtp server that doesn't require auth. Luckily, the OSSEC server is running on a Linux or other unix-like system. An smtpd usually comes installed on the good ones. Configure the locally installed smtpd to relay the messages through gmail. > -- > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "ossec-list" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to ossec-list+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ossec-list/c337727b-7a3b-4fa6-a428-3af96a0c4c54o%40googlegroups.com. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ossec-list" group.
