How can I change Nagios from email address ?

[Frost, Mark {BIS}]

Depending on how you send your mail messages, you could just get away with using a command-line argument.

In our case, the notifications commands send mail using "Mail" (or "mailx" -- I can't remember of the top of my head).   So we've modified the e-mail notifications commands in the Nagios config to add

-R nagios at hostname.we.want.to.see<mailto:nagios at hostname.we.want.to.see>

Assuming you use Mail or mailx, check the man pages for those on your local OS to ensure it supports them, but I thought most modern Linuxes supported that.

Note that this changes the Reply-to line that your messages comes from.  That's been more than sufficient for us and makes Nagios messages appear the way we want them to.

Subject: [Nagios-users] How can I change Nagios from email address ?

Hi All,

I'd like to change Nagios Email address. Now I am using "admin at hostname-nagios.localhost" but many system doesn't accept this email address. So I'd like to change to real e-mail address. I have searched in the internet but I couldn't be success.

How can I do it ?

Thanks...
