nagios monitoring - email alerts

[Barkell, Bill]

Which version of FreeBSD? If a newer version, you can set
sendmail_enable="NO" in rc.conf, which will enable the ability to send mail
only. Then you should be able to use mail or sendmail client to send
notifications.

Hi all -
 
I am running Nagios on a FreeBSD box that is NOT a mail server.  I am trying
to configure SSMPT (which the freebsd documentation says is a simple client
to allow outgoing mail only).  I can't get the notifications to send e-mails
though.  I am either missing a simple configuration on freebsd, or there is
something I need to change in one of the nagios config files.  Has anyone
run into any problems like this before?  Will the alerting work if I am NOT
using 'sendmail' on this box??  
 
Thanks,
Amy Reagan
