    Hi,

    Where abouts in Pandora can I specify an SMTP server so that I can send alerts to my email address? Is there a way to do this or do I need to configure Postfix on the Pandora server? If this is the case it would be great if someone could point me in the direction of a guide as I saw one for Gmail but I haven’t seen one for Exchange.

    Thanks,

    Graham

    Hello

    You’d need to configure pandora so it can send emails. In the following link you can find useful information on how to do so:
    http://wiki.pandorafms.com/index.php?title=Pandora:Configuration_emails_alerts
    What exactly do you mean by “specify a SMTP server so that I can send alerts to my email address” ?

    Regards

    Hi,

    What I mean is I just want to send alerts to my mailbox on our Exchange server. Is the guide you mentioned just for Gmail?

    Thanks,

    Graham

    Hello

    Although  the information I send you is  for gmail you can set a similar configuration for the exchange server. You can follow the manual to write down the necessary information.
    In your pandora_server.conf file  change the configuration for the  mta_address  and set it with your exchange server. Then in mta_user set the specific user if want to use any and in mta_pass set the password for that user. Take a look at the link for more information.

    Regards
    Ivo

    I have configured the below but it doesn’t work. Do I need to configure Postfix also? I have performed a telnet test on port 25 which works.

    mta_address exchange.domain.com

    # mta_port, this is the mail server port (default 25)

    #mta_port 25

    # mta_user MTA User (if needed for auth, FQD or simple user, depending on your server)

    #mta_user user@domain.com

    # mta_pass Password

    #mta_pass Password

    # mta_auth MTA Auth system (if needed, it supports LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD)

    #mta_auth LOGIN

    #mta_from Pandora FMS

    Hello

    The configuration is commented that’s why it’s not working. Remove the # from: mta_port 25 ; mta_user user@domain.com (configure this correctly with your exchange user) ; mta_pass Password (insert the password you use for your user) (only uncoment one) ; mta_auth LOGIN
    and mta_from Pandora FMS

    Regards
    Ivo
