Ok, I finally got my xymon server to accept outside mail. Since I am using sendmail and the man page has procmailrc, is there a standard configuration to use with sendmail?

Barring that (in my case, changing MX records and mail routing was not allowed), you can use fetchmail to pull mail from a valid account on your e-mail server and acknowledge based on that. I have done that before.

You need to make sure that the reply e-mail is sent to the Xymon server. If you, for example, have xymon at yourdomain.com <mailto:xymon at yourdomain.com> as sender for alerts, you need to forward it to Xymon at xymonserver.yourdomain.com <mailto:Xymon at xymonserver.yourdomain.com> in exchange. You also need an MX record for xymonserver.yourdomain.com in DNS, and you need to configure the MTA on your Xymon server to accept mails for @xymonserver.yourdomain.com domain.

Ok, now when I hit reply on an alert, I get the message back with couldn’t find host. Is there additional steps with an exchange server maybe?

You only need to configure procmail according to the man-page, and it works out of the box.

Could someone point me some documentation about acknowledging an alert via email or phone.
Thanks in advance!
