Thanks for this info, it helped. I configured postfix and now all is working!

If the server has a functional MTA, no further configuration needs to be done beyond setting a source and destination address :

The bottom option forces Observium to use the configured email address instead of the sysContact on the device being alerted for.
*DO NOT* change any SMTP-related settings. The server just needs a functional MTA, postfix usually works fine, and installing the package asks you enough questions to make it work.
Email notification works, else we'd be flooded with hundreds of reports about it. If Observium is successfully passing an email to your MTA, but it's not being delivered, you need to work out why the MTA isn't delivering the mail.
Thanks, adam.

What and where do I need to configure in Observium for SMTP settings so that I can receive email alerts?
Any mail application better mail vs sendmail? I setup email settings in the config.php but I never receive an email.
Thanks,
