Can you try to use the command, and send it to one of the email logs, and post the log here for review ? I don't see anything wrong in the Nagios config files that you have posted.

See if this command works:

Code: Select all

echo "something" | usr/bin/mail -a "From:<USERNAME>@<YOURDOMAIN><.COM/NET/ORG/LOCAL> -s "Test" <YOUREMAILADDRESS>

In the logs your email is getting bounced because it is coming from root@localhost or something similar. It is not going to accept it unless it comes from a FQDN, [email protected].

Try that command, to your various emails, and post the results from the mail log please.

Try this. It was rejected because it wasn't in the format of a FQDN.

We'll not mess with main.cf for now.

Send it to your gmail address to verify it is coming from the correct address. I installed the same version of Ubuntu you are using so I would have matching files.
