Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Hope y'all are well!

I was requested to change the email address for a contact. I made a typo when I did it, and found this out when we started seeing email delivery failures in our team mailbox. Far enough, so I corrected the email address in the contact. However, we're still getting email delivery failures, and they’re listing the typo email address I incorrectly entered earlier.

Could Nagios be caching this somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas on where to begin looking?

I did grep all the nagiosxi and nagios core backend files for the typo email address but could not find anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

After changing the email address did you restart the httpd service?

Thanks

Hi,
No, just the usual "Apply Configuration" as you do.

Hi

Please run: This will cause the php mailer script to restart, clearing it of the old email
address. Please let me know the results.

Thank you

Hi,

Ah, I see, makes sense. I have restarted httpd and will monitor for email failures but so far so good.

HI

Awesome! I am going to lock this but will re-open it
if you have problems.

Thanks
