Under General Mail Setting, I am trying to setup mail method through "Sendmail". It was working on an old Nagios Server, but I had to reinstall Nagios Server and now it is not working. When I click on "send a test email" using "Sendmail" mehtod, it says "An email was sent to:
[email protected]". I have tried different email addresses and I never receive a test email. I need this setup for alerts that I am monitoring my servers. Can someone help me please?
Thanks,

I would look in /var/log/maillog to see if anything is standing out why the mail is rejected.
It could be something is misconfiguration in the MTA on the server.

How or where can I get CentOS Linux release 6.0 Kernel 2.6 32-131.17.1.eI6.i686 on an i686?
I just reinstalled Nagios using 6.2 and I still can't get sendmail or SMTP method to work. I have an CentOS 6.0 on a different server and "sendmail" works fine.

You can send an e-mail from the command line for troubleshooting purposes.
Create a simple text file:
You can type in something or leave it empty.
Then run:
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/sendmail -v <your_email> < /tmp/test.txt
Review the output for errors and check your e-mail to see if you received the test message. Check your "spam" folder" as well (just in case it ends up there).
