Change notification email

Post by CedricD »

Hello,

We are currently setting up Nagiox XI and are facing a litte 'problem' atm.
If there is a problem with a host, for example WEBSERVER01, we receive notifications in our mailbox from '[email protected]'.
We want to change this email for all hosts to '[email protected]'.

How do we do that?

Thanks.
Cédric

Are you using the core notification handlers for some of your contacts? Go to --> CCM --> Contacts --> Click one of the contacts in question --> Alert settings --> What is set for "Manage Host/Service Notification Commands"?

Those are the core notification handlers. You may need to set an FQDN on the server in order to get past spam filters/relay restrictions. Are you sending to an smtp relay?
