And thus continues the saga of SMTP configurations never working.
Remove all of that SMTP configuration and set up a local mail relay on the Observium server and it'll probably start working again.
Also, YOU NEVER EVER CHANGE DEFAULTS.INC.PHP
NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER

Hi guys, sorry for bother you, but have a question about the email configuration. After the update a few versions back work fine the alerts by email. But now not work, only work my integration with Slack, but i need the email alerts.
My configuration is this:
config.php
// Set up a default alerter (email to a single address)
$config['email']['default'] = "alarmas@tinitix.com"; $config['email']['from'] = "Alarmas alarmas@tinitix"; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;
/include/defaults.inc.php
// Mailer backend Settings
$config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable/Disable email globally $config['email']['from'] = TRUE; // Mail from. Default: "Observium" <observium@`hostname`> $config['email']['default'] = TRUE; // Default alert recipient $config['email']['default_only'] = FALSE; // Only use default recipient (all alerts send to default recipient) $config['email']['graphs'] = TRUE; // Allow graphs in mail body $config['email']['backend'] = 'smtp'; // Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp".
// sendmail backend specific options
$config['email']['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; // The location of the sendmail program.
// smtp backend specific options
$config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'my_ip_smtp_server'; // Outgoing SMTP server name. $config['email']['smtp_port'] = '465'; // The port to connect. $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = '60'; // SMTP connection timeout in seconds. $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = 'ssl'; // Enable encryption. Use 'tls' or 'ssl' $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = TRUE; // Whether or not to use SMTP authentication. $config['email']['smtp_username'] = 'soporte@tinitix.com'; // SMTP username.
Thx. BR Santiago
