Re: {bb} mail generation

Hi Keith,

        On your BBPAGER, what does them SMTP log indicate?

        I don't know what the log will be called on YOUR system.  Look in /etc/syslog.conf for the "mail.debug" or "mail.notice" or "mail.something" entry to see what the log file name is.  Then look in that file to see if any email sending is being attempted.

        One obvious question is, can you send mail from the command line on the BBPAGER?  Like:

mailx -s "Test email from BBPAGER" keith@rilinfo.net
Test email from the command line on BBPAGER
.

You should be able to see the above in the smtp log file.  If that works, then cause an event about which BB should send mail and check the log file.

        If the command line fails to send email, then your system is not properly configured to send email.  Fix that and BB should be happier.

Hi,
 
I have a problem with my mail notifications.
I am unable to generate mail from bb.
My version of bb is bb 1.9c, I am running
it on solaris 8
there are files getting generated in /var/bb/bb19c/tmp
 
np_ext-ex1-idcresponse@********.net
np_girish@*******.net
 
However there are no mails getting injected
for the MTA to deliver.
 
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or where
to look.
My /var/bb/bb19c/etc/bbwarnrules.cfg has
the lines.
