set-up email notifications

[tejanagios]

HI,

My aim is to send a test email from nagios xi, and take it from there, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I am using sendmail and at the To field entered a valid work gmail address and in the to field the same address for testing. when i update and send a test message, it says it's sent it, but I don't receive it.

there is no dns name to this nagios xi box yet, because i am still testing it and its beind firewalls.

figured out, what the problem is; email delivery failure, looks like there is a white space in the email address although, it doen't seem so to the human eye. copy pasted the email address and it started working now. thank you
