Email notifications problem

Nagios Nagios Configuration support
1

hi,

I’m a newbie in both linux and nagios. I have a fresh install of centos 5 . I installed nagios 3.0.3 by following the quickstart instructions to the letter. The modifications i made so far on the config files are to let nagios check network printeI r and router and put 2 email addresses on two contacts on the contacts.cfg. I shut down the printer to trigger notification and viewed the messages on system log. I noticed the following messages on maillog:
…mailer: esmtp, pri = 120578, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com,dsn=2.0,stat=sent (ok somenumbers) and on the other contact:
mailer:esmtp, pri=33432, relay=d.mx.yahoo.com, dsn =5.0, stat=service unavailable.

checking the emails on the 2 inboxes, no email notification from nagios came in.

did I miss something on the config files? Pls help me!

you’ll need to post some parts of your config files, so that we can tell you if you missed something :slight_smile:

Also, quick question:
on the web interface, “reporting” part, there is a “notifications” link
=> when viewing the notifications, are there notifications for your printer sent to the contacts/contactgroups you defined ?

Thanks loose,

here is part of the notifications on ‘reporting’:

For some reason Yahoo is rejecting your mails but the “dsn =5.0, stat=service unavailable.” response isn’t exatcly the most helpful thing in the world when you are trying to work out why. If you take a look at the DSN messages that will be being delivered back to the local mail account on your nagios server then there may be a further indication of the reason behind the rejection, maybe in the form of a response code or some slightly more helpful text.

Hello strides,

Sorry for not replying quickly. You see, I got sick googling for similar problem but got no solution. Where can I see the DSN messages that are sent back to my nagios server. All I got are maillogs similar to what i posted. Please help!

ok…Now i’m through with senmail…I removed sendmail from my nagios server and installed postfix. It appears to be ok until I found the following maillog messages:

Sep 19 17:06:19 localhost postfix/qmgr[2412]: 367D88BDD52: to=[email protected], relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: host b.mx.mail.yahoo.com[66.196.97.250] refused to talk to me: 553 Mail from 124.105.125.13 not allowed - 5.7.1 [BL23] Connections not accepted from IP addresses on Spamhaus XBL; see postmaster.yahoo.com/550-bl23.html [550])

looking at the postmaster.yahoo.com.html it says:

In our continuing efforts to protect our users from unsolicited email, Yahoo! Mail does not accept SMTP connections from IP addresses of compromised machines, as determined by the Spamhaus XBL. If you are seeing this error message, please do not retry sending your message using the same IP address. Instead, we encourage you to take steps to secure your machine (e.g., update and run anti-virus software), along with any other machines on your network.

If you think that your IP address has been listed in error, you or your email administrator should contact Spamhaus. Once your IP is delisted by Spamhaus, Yahoo! Mail will automatically unblock your IP within 48 hours.

What a mess! please help!

Oh dear, your mail server’s IP address is on the Spamhaus XBL…
