Hi Pankaj,
can "from " address be configured for xymon alerts?i want to send xymon alert mails from "xymon at monitor.mgmt.machines" address.But is is sending alerts from xymon@
hostname.There is no flag/variable that accepts for from address.I dont want to change my servers sendmail configuration.I want to change configuraion from xymon side.
What is the reason you want to change it? Is it to have a more identifiable name? I wanted to have a more human-readable name for my sender and discovered the way to do this is to set the xymon user's name in /etc/passwd - e.g.:
xymon:x:500:500:Xymon (Brighton Data Centre):/home/xymon:/bin/bash
The address is still xymon at hostname.com but appears in my Inbox as from "Xymon (Brighton Data Centre)".
Regards,
Malcolm
