Do you have notifications working on this system? It seems like this could be an issue with mail configuration.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Yes, I am receiving email notifications.

Was there more log output from /var/log/httpd/error_log? It seems like there would be more information there...

That's all I see there. It is acting like it is still running and I have to manually (ctrl+c) stop it to get back to the command line. I ran it a few times, sorry for the redundancy, maybe you'll see something I don't. Here is the output:

[root@localhost httpd]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Code: Select all

It looks like your mail system may be configured for IPV6, I would give this a quick read through:

I did this and rebooted the Nagios server:
go to /etc/postfix/main.cf and change from:
inet_protocols = all
to:
inet_protocols = ipv4

Now here is my output:
[root@localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Have you tried looking for a solution on the postfix forum?

I browsed the forum a bit. All mail related which has potential to be helpful if I had hours to sift through it. I am receiving NAGIOS notifications via email. I am not receiving NAGIOS reports via email. Please help me resolve my NAGIOS issue..

This is more of a postfix problem as we do not support postfix. Though we try to help everyone there are some things which we can not spend much time diving into. Have you tried using one of our SUPPORTED transfer agents and see if you receive reports via email with them? We have received a few mail related reports since the 1.7 release, however they all seem to point to postfix which again is not supported, while we are looking into it, we recommend you use a SUPPORTED Mail Transfer Agent while we bug-hunt.

Just letting you know we are still looking into this.

Sendmail is not supported? I don't understand why that is the first option when configuring via the web then? I only see Sendmail and SMTP; what other options do I have?
Thanks.
