This could be many different things.

When you look at the Home -> Notifications page, is it showing as triggered, or does it not show up on this page?

this is becoming a bit maddening ... I see some notifications in home > notifications but alert mail to the users are going out incorrectly

Code: Select all

23E277B4: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<$>, relay=local, delay=0.03, delays=0.03/0/0/0, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "$")
but test emails are going out correctly

Something is not right and I am having trouble finding what

Can you show us a screenshot of your Admin -> Manage Email Settings page?

If you are using SMTP, you need to select the "SMTP" check-box under "Mail Settings" page, and lick on "Update Settings". I will also recommend that you change the "from" address to something other than "root@localhost".

sendmail (postfix) is preferred. We can change the sender ... that's not a problem.

Can you show us all of the relevant configs (host/service in question, contactgroup/contact added to this host/service, contact templates, notification handlers)?

Also, run the following command and show the output in code wraps:

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/maillog
