Re: multiple email servers with authentication

[aweber]

That did not work for me. Does it work on your version of monit? If so, can you tell me what version you are running?

Something like this?

set mailserver example.com port 587 username "user" password "password" using tlsv1,

example2.com port 25 username "user2" password "password2" using tlsv1 with timeout 30 seconds,

localhost

I do use postfix. I read the SASL info, but I didn't notice a way to configure multiple defaults. I can look at that again.  (One thing I'm trying to monitor is postfix! 🙂)

Still, if monit supports multiple mailhosts and it supports smtp auth, it should support multiple mailhosts each with auth.

Well. You'll have more luck doing that in postfix or whatever you use to relay email. Did you look at ssmtp?

http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-ssmtp.html

Can't remember if it supports multiple auth or protocols.

I tried something similar (I moved the timeout to the one clause at the end). That didn't work. So it's not only "probably" not that syntax, it's definitely not that syntax.

And I read the docs. As you noticed, it does NOT document how to supply the auth and protocol per server, which is a very common requirement.

I should have commented that I'm currently running v5.14.

Documentation clearly says

-- Example (setting two mail servers for failover):
set mailserver smtp.gmail.com, smtp.other.host

So it's probably

set mailserver smtp.domain1.com port 587, smtp.domain2.com port 465

etcetera

I am attempting to configure multiple (backup) mailserver's. Each has a unique username and password, and in fact, each has different ports, protocols, etc.

I have tried this:

set mailserver smtp.domain1.com port 587
username address@hidden password "xxxxxxxxxx"
with timeout 30 seconds,
smtp.domain2.com port 465
username otheruser password "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
using SSL with timeout 30 seconds

This results in a configuration syntax error.

Can someone help me figure out how to configure my mailservers?

Thanks!
