<div>Derek,</div> <div> That is pretty much what i though, but i guess i have something goofed up. It will send mail enternal to our domain/exchange server, but nothing out side of our domain, (i.e. <a href="http://Vtext.com">Vtext.com</a> ). Is there a way inside Nagios to tell it to send all out bound mail through our Exchange server? </div> <div>On 2/24/06, Derek J.

Nagios basically injects its e-mail into its local MTA on that box, which is configured however you set it up (and that's a little outside the scope of this list, but relaying to offsite domains like Verizon should be a factory config pretty much). cheers, D On Feb 24, 2006, at 3:13 PM, Joe Jackson wrote: > Derek, > Thanks for your comments.
