mail notifications

[todd.jones at weirslurry.com]

The nagios box has an internal private IP.  Our corporate Email server does
not allow relaying, even from internal hosts.  So, there is no smarthost.
My end goal is to send Email directly to my isp's smtp server with the from
field saying 'nagios at tds.net' (tds is my isp).  I have verified this Email
setup works by using a client to be able to send and receive Email using
this IP address.  My only problem is trying to find out how to configure
sendmail to make this happen.  The DNS is a non-issue as I know.  DNS
queries outside our local network are forwarded to the dns servers at my
isp.  The end goal is to send the email to an account I have with my cell
phone company to page me via my cell phone.

What's the hostname on your Nagios box?  Is it in DNS?  Do you have a
smarthost setup or are you trying to send internet mail directly from your
Nagios box?

I have a setup like this:

Nagios box
Private IP
In Internal DNS
Smarhosts to corporate mail relay

Corporate mail relay in external DNS
public IP

Works just fine.
