Email Notifications

[kellyjackie at eircom.net]

Please help!
I have set up eSMTP as relay.The test from the command line is as follows: echo "test" | /usr/bin/esmtp -C ~/esmtp outside at email -f inside at email
outside at email is an outside email address i am sending to from an inside email address on our email server. Do i need to specify the inside email server and the account i am using within nagios and if so where? or should the usual configuration be enough. the relevant parts of the config fiels are as follows.

Thanks in advance for any help

The following are the config files:



>From the windows.cfg file:

        alias           invoicingpc     ; A longer name associated with the host
        address         x.x.x.x     ; IP address of the host
