Hi team,

Yesterday our Nagios server was renamed by infra team and they rebooted the server.After that email notification is not working on the server.

Please find below output for the command tail -25 /var/log/maillog

Based on this message:

Code: Select all

MX: Host not found, try again
I would double check your machine's DNS settings. Simply put, Nagios XI is unable to resolve the host that you are trying to send emails to.
