I just built a new Ubuntu 19.10 server and installed Xymon server on it using the premade apt package.? I've got working hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg, and client-local.cfg.? The webpage works fine and client data flows in and displays accurately.
I've also configured alerts.cfg to email me for everything, but I'm not receiving any emails in my mailbox.? In the past when I've built a xymon server box I installed Sendmail that took care of sending the emails out.? But this is 2020 and I'm assuming something else is built into the Xymon Server code that does the emailing.? What am I missing here?? Do I still need to install a separate mailer?

Postfix is the newer mail program.
/etc/postfix/main.cf
You'll want to set myhostname, myorigin, inet_interfaces, my_destination, and maybe relayhost.
They are pretty self expanitory.
You might also need to look at the firewall.

I've just spent half my day attempting to get Postfix to function, without success.?? My ISP blocks port 25, so I've attempted to setup the TLS relay to my SMTP host, but that doesn't work either.? Gone are the days of just editing a few configs and then everything works.? I've read more how-to's than I want to count, and none actually work.? If Xymon has 'alerts' built-in shouldn't it roll in an actual email relay tool that users can enter their basic SMTP server credentials and it just works?? Can someone offer some sane assistance please?? I'm beating my head against the wall at this point.

I am a little confused. Why can you not just use postfix (or sendmail if you are a masochist :) as a local MTA? Does your ISP block outgoing port 25 or some similar nonsense?
I can post a main.cf, transport_map and generic_map files that works for my xymon server.

Do not become so fixated on the cheese at the end of the maze that you forget the real goal is to escape from the lab.
Yes, my ISP blocks port 25. Please send me any sample configs you have. I greatly appreciate it. Once I get this figured out I will post my notes back to the forum for future folks.
Thanks, Kris Springer

Gmail accepts SMTP connections on port 465 with SSL or on either 587 or 25 with TLS.
