I found it easiest to configure our Zenoss system to use the local sendmail MTA and configure sendmail to relay email to our corporate server. The corporate server was configured to allow messages from the Zenoss server based on IP address and does not use authentication.
These instructions are for RHEL 5.0 and assumes you are logged in as root: Install sendmail configuration tools Code: yum -y install sendmail-cf Make a copy of the sendmail configuration file Code: cd /etc/mail cp sendmail.mc sendmail.mc.bak Configure sendmail to use your.domain.name as a relay server. First, edit the configuration file. Code: nano sendmail.mc Press Ctrl-w to open a search. Search for the word âsmartâ. You will be taken to the line: Code: dnl define(`SMART_HOSTâ, `smtp.your.providerâ)dnl Remove the opening âdnlâ and change smtp.your.provider to your.domain.name (leave the quotes). The line should look like this when youâre done: Code: define(`SMART_HOSTâ, `your.domain.nameâ)dnl Save the file, then recompile the sendmail configuration: Code: make -C /etc/mail Verify that the changes have been recorded Code: cat /etc/mail/sendmail.cf | grep your.domain.name You should see output like this: Code: DSyour.domain.name If you donât, check the sendmail.mc file again. Restart the sendmail service Code: /etc/init.d/sendmail restart Verify that you can send mail: Code: sendmail [email protected] (press enter) This is a test message (press enter) Type (Ctrl-D) Verify that the message went through Code: tail /var/log/maillog The last entry should confirm that the message was sent. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=35362#35362 -------------------- m2f --------------------
