Outbound Email

[blueagle78]

I've been working on a silly problem for last few days and I really don't know what to do.
I've got Nagios install on a server runningSuse Linux 10.1. Everything is working perfectly except Emails.
I can send emails out using mail or mailx from command line but Nagios isn't sending emails out to my email address.
What's the easiest way of configuring this? My email is on MS Exchange server so all I want Nagios/Suse Linux to do is to forward my email to my SMTP server. PLEASE HELP

I've just installed mini_sendmail in a hope to sort out the email problem on my Suse/Nagios server. All I want to do is to get email alerts from Nagios to my email address which is on Exchange server.
mini_sendmail is installed in /usr/local/sbin/mini_sendmail
but I don't have a clue how I'm going to configure it. I've removed sendmail and postfix from my Suse Linux 10.1 before istalling mini_sendmail. Please help.

I don't know much, but configuring kmail is easy enough on 10.1, just watch out for ISP/webservers/mail servers that use odd ports occasionally, like Rx on 875 for some workarounds of some secure sites. Consult and ask specifically about the port numbering for Tx and Rx when you get your addresses etc. WRITE IT DOWN!!!!!!!! KEEP!!!
