warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop

Post by Maheswari K »

Hi,

We are configuring mail notification in Nagios core.

We are able to send mail notification manually using the mail command in command prompt.

But we are not receiving any monitoring mail alerts from Nagios. When checked in maillog file found the below errors. Could you please help me in resolving this permission issue. Thanks.

I see you have also opened another thread for this, so we will be locking this thread and continuing in the other. In the future please only open one so we are not duplicating our efforts.
