monitor on 16.7

[franco]

Hi jamerson,

This would require a relay server in your local network or on the firewall, dispatching the SMTP message as a simple notification client will not save it.

We don't have sendmail in OPNsense (deactivated via FreeBSD build), but we could bring in opensmtpd as a package. But I don't want to do a plugin, the scope is a bit far. May be easier to setup a relay in your internal network.


Cheers,
Franco

Thank you Franco for your answers.
we have some customers using internal exchange , but the internal exchange sending using the smarthost, the smarthost won't be a relay unfortunately .
what kind of warning does the firewall send ? if there is a new DHCP detected ? IP conflict ?....
thank you

Varieties of this message: MONITOR: %s is down, removing from routing group %s

It also requires you to enable gateway monitoring, maybe that's not obvious because the default is off.

I will pick up opensmptd as a package for 16.7.


Cheers,
Franco
