Re: Cannot open a connection to the mailserve 'localhost:25' -- Transport endpoint is not connected

Hello,

you need to set the mailserver to be used for alert delivery using the "set 
mailserver" statement - see manual for more details: 
http://www.mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#setting_a_mail_server_for_alert_delivery

Regards,
Martin
