Email Sender

Hi

 

 

I've a problem about email sender

 

 

This is my email

 

From: m

 

To: user@abc.com

 

Date: 07/02/2013 11:16 PM

 

Subject: 01070727:5: Pool member monitor status up.

 

How can I change "root@abc-01.com" into "abc-01@abc-01.com" ?

 

 

this is my alert config

 

alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP {

 

snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.11";

 

email toaddress="user@abc.com"

 

fromaddress="root"

 

body="Pool Member monitor status UP"

 

}

 

 

thank you

    teepan123,

     

     

    From the sol in question:

     

     

    Note: The BIG-IP system appends the local hostname to the configured fromaddress field to derive the FQDN for inclusion in the From: address.

     

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Nathan

     

     

    And How about 11.x ? (ssmtp instead postfix)

     

     

    my config is

     

     

    mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:465

     

    AuthUser=teepan123@gmail.com

     

    AuthPass=xxxxxxxxxx

     

    Hostname=

     

    FromLineOverride=YES

     

    UseTLS=YES

     

     

    When I trigger alert

     

    Email was sent but result is seem wrong >> [from: ] is still AuthUser not the one I set in alert.conf

     

     

     

    from: root (teepan123@gmail.com)

     

    to: teepan123@gmail.com

    subject: 01070640:5: Node /Common/test address 100.100.100.3 monitor status down. [ was unchecked for 0hr:0min:17sec ]

     

     

    This is alert.conf

     

     

     

    alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_NODE_ADDRESS_MON_STATUS {

     

    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.12";

     

    email toaddress="teepan123@gmail.com"

     

    fromaddress="bigip03-ve"

     

    }

     

     

     

     

     

    How to fix it?

     

    Thank you

    Try uncommenting out the "FromLineOverride=YES" line.

     

     

    HTH,

  • After uncommenting the "FromLineOverride=YES" line.

     

    From: teepan123@gmail.com

     

     

    When commenting the "FromLineOverride=YES" line.

     

    From: root (teepan123@gmail.com)

     

     

    difference in root word appear or not ...and fromaddress in alert.conf still not shown

  • I think if we use mailhub other than gmail (which must use AuthUser) everything will work out. -_-
