(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@machinename.localdomain.net it can be set with a return address of an existing email account that can be resolved? thanks!
