email notification question

[Gary.Every at ingramentertainment.com]

This is really for the sendmail list, but look in your sendmail.cf file,
usually found in /etc or /etc/mail and find the line that looks like:
#Dj$foo.bar or something like that
You should be able to just search for Dj

Change that line to look like this with NO # sign at the beginning

Djyourhost.yourdomain.com

Then save the file, stop and start sendmail, you should be fine

Subject: [Nagios-users] email notification question


Ok, I've got email notifications working, sort of...

(fyi: RH 8.0 with sendmail)

the problem I'm having seems to be that because the email's are going
out from the sendmail server on the localhost, which isn't a registered
server and can't be resolve via DNS, certain receiving email servers are
rejecting the mail.  Probably as an antispam protection.  Is there a way
to set an alias for the nagios email address?  So instead of the
notifications coming from nagios at machinename.localdomain.net it can be
set with a return address of an existing email account that can be
resolved?

thanks!

Jeff
