Re: [Nagios-users] Sending as specific email address
I ended up using generics in sendmail since I didn't want the whole box sending out like that just the nagios user. Thanks for the help.

Assuming sendmail for a moment is the MTA on the machine that you are sending the pages from there is a setting in the sendmail.cf file called "Masquerading as" that you can set to a domain to masquerade all email addresses to. So, in the case of your return email address that I note above you would set the line that starts with DM in sendmail.cf to read DMmintcommerce.com and restart sendmail. This way any email that gets sent from that machine gets its return address re-written to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] which will silence the complaint from the blackberry server. If you are using some other MTA then you have to follow suit with whatever the configuration requirements are for that MTA. - -- Peter L.

[Nagios-users] Sending as specific email address
Yesterday the blackberry servers stopped accepting all my nagios alerts because nagios sends out as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the blackberry servers complain that servername.domainname does not exist and gives me a data format error. Is there a way to set it so that nagios sends out as a specific email address?
