help with sending emails

Post by benhank »

Hi guys!

so on my test machine Ive had to wipe the os and reinstall nagios which went well.
I loaded up the latest version, but I cant seem to get sendmail working correctly.
when I browse to admin/email settings and I send a test email. it says that the email was sent correctly,
however when I look at the mail on the server I get this:

Code: Select all

The original message was received at Thu, 2 Apr 2020 11:23:23 -0400
from localhost
with id 032FNNdf001221

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[email protected]>

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 <[email protected]>... Host unknown (Name server: mxb-001d8001.gslb.pphosted.com.:
host not found)
what did I do wrong fellas?
