Hi All,

we have around 10 servers in our environment and currently all are connected to nagios core. We don't have any SMTP mail server to use for sending the alerts or failure of nagios monitoring. Is there any way we can setup a mail notification to send email alerts from nagios monitoring to our personal email. I have gone through several website dint find any solution to this.

Thanks in advance

sendmail is a pretty popular MTA that doesn't leverage an SMTP server explicitly. There's different ways to configure it depending on your flavor of Linux, but Google can help with that if you're a bit lost.

Here's an overview of leveraging sendmail with Nagios Core:
