Hi @tsukon this procedure is to configure postfix with a Gmail account, isn’t it?

Hi ​@Laurent  yes ! but i can do the same with gmail account no? 

Or this is maybe better to don’t use an Relayhost like gmail?

We can’t send any email from localhost debian VM to an external email than outlook or anythink?

Hello ​@tsuko have you tried with an app password?

https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

hi ​@ponchoh ! that work when i use an gmail account but i don’t wnt to use an relayhost. My responsable prefer my Server Centreon send directly the notification (lik email from user@centreon-srv.net or user@localhost ) did you understand ! sorry if my not precise ^^

Hello ​@tsuko,

• do you have an email server setup?
• smtp?
• config with your allowed network?
• what have you tried?

Hi ​@ponchoh !

 yes my company has its own domain which is  hosted by an external service provider. But we can access to manage it if we want.

​@tsuko 

can you use your provider for smtp? what have you tried?

​@ponchoh hi !

i’m retrying to use email nofication with postfix. But i don’t use gmail as relayhost .

I try to use my provider smtp server in my config but that doesn’t work .

When i try to do “a echo test” that don’t work and send an respond in my local user of centreon (like root or centreon-engine) in var/mail

The response is:

thank you, have you tried

then restart

sudo systemctl restart postfix

hi ​@ponchoh that doesn’t work !

I can receveid a notification from centreon into my localhost centreon:

domain.lan

but not send anything to

External-domain.FR

but i continue to receveid a good notification for “centreon-engine@xxxx.lan” into /var/mail/centreon-engine in localhost system as you can see:

check the SPF on the receiving end?

Hi ​@ponchoh all is working ! i decided to don’t use some relayhost and that work i receveid directly the notification in our mailbox .

But can i change the sender notification?

Why this is Centreon-engine?

I’ve create a new user and add him into the sender email notification but that doesn’t work :

The command look like very strange :

and

🎁

./centreon_notification_email.pl --plugin=notification::plugin --mode=alert --help
