Hi, I had recently upgraded from 0.8.6h to 0.8.7d... I just imported the data into a new mysql database and upgraded... After the upgrade I am not getting any emails from cacti... when i try to send a test email it says receipent not specified... how ever i had mentioned my email address in the default alerting options...

This is the message when i try to send a test message

Which plugin is this? How did you migrate. It looks all configuration related. You messed up on something.

What happens if you choose SMTP mail ?

Hi,

What i did was backed up the old mysql data and imported into the new mysql for 0.8.7d... All my functionality is working fine with PA 2.4 and latest plugins... Only thing is alerting seems to having issues... I have tried both php and sendmail options, but it doesn't taking a TO address at all

Sendmail doesn't like Tony's implementation as it requires a -t (I think he used qmail). Use something else until I can get it fixed.

Any developments on this ? I'd like to use Sendmail running locally on my Cacti instead of Exchange SMTP..

Thanks

You can always just modify the Settings plugin to add a -t. Or since you are already using Sendmail, just have it listen on port 25 (localhost only) and use SMTP to send to it.
