Email configuration – pulling my hair out!!

Posted by cwmoser on August 25, 2011 at 02:38
I have now installed Pandora on a new Linux Ubuntu server. From the command prompt, I can run the mail command and am able to send out emails – like this:
```
$  mail  [email protected]
```
I installed Exim4 to get email working like this as a smarthost to GMAIL.

But, how do I configure Pandora to send out email on the same server it is installed on.
I have put the following in /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf :
```
	servername	serverxxx
	mta_port		25
	mta_address	serverxxx
	mta_user		carl@serverxxx
	mta_pass		xxxxxx
	mta_auth		LOGIN
	mta_from		Pandora@serverxxx
```
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

Well I installed Postfix on my Ubuntu server.
It will send email and I can send test emails using netcat and Telnet.

But, Pandora will not send out emails.
So what does it take to get Pandora to work?

/var/log/pandora/pandora_server.log states that it was send:
```
2011-08-26 18:34:02 127.0.0.1#serverm2 [V1] [ERROR] Sending email to [email protected] with subject [PANDORA] Alert from agent CASPER-XP-VIRTB on module PrintSpooler
```
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Carl
