[smokeping-users] Alerts and Email Issues

[Jim Liu]

I am using smokeping 2.3.6 on Ubuntu 10.04.  I have a couple of issues
with alerts and sending mail.   Below are the logs and configuration
where the debug has no match for target but the message log shows active
for someloss alert on the test host box. I do receive a someloss alert
email through sendmail relaying through my exchange server when I
disconnect that host.  Any help on what I can look at would be
appreciated.
