[smokeping-users] Email alerts from Smokeping

[Srinivas Makam]

Hi all,
   
  I have configured Smokeping 2.04 for sending email alerts if latency or packet loss exceeds a threshold. I have specified the smtp server name in the config file along with the TO and FROM addresses. I have put the IP address of the smtp server in the /etc/hosts file  (Linux). I can ping the smtp server from the smokeping host.
   
  I am not getting any emails. I see some alerts in the /var/log/messages file.
   
  Please provide me some clues as to what I am missing or how I can test.
   
  thanks
  Srinivas
