Sending Outgoing Emails from Unix Server
the server i have here is a Ubuntu server. it has nagios on it.
after setting up nagios and having it work as it should, i realized at the very end of all my work that obviously nagios will also need to send out email alerts to a set of email addresses that it has in its database.
my problem now is, i have no clue where to begin with this.
i have installed all kinds of mail related packages to get it to work but apparently its not. i am not able to send out emails from the Ubuntu server outside to any email addresses.
does anyone know what I can do to handle this situation? all i need is the ability to send out emails.
