In reply to djiman wabi. Hello, I also was not able to find that file on that location. Please check the server conf file at /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf and look for 'alertscripts' path. My default folder was /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts for some reason.

Good Evening…

Please we do not understand how you could make the script file.

# vi /usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts/zabbix-sendmail [On RHEL / CentOS 7]
$ sudo nano/usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts / zabbix-sendmail [On Debian 8]

I stumbled onto this howto and was mildly irritated by the use of SSMTP but then for anybody using RedHat it might be harder to install the alternative Nullmailer. In systems of the Debian family-like Raspi and Ubuntu, both are available. Nullmailer should be preferred because it is currently still maintained. In Red Hat's descendants, you are more likely to find SSMTP. It has not been changed since 2014, although there are security concerns afaik. While SSMTP dumps messages directly to the configured SMTP server and terminates immediately, Nullmailer works like a "real" mail server: The program uses a queue into which it accepts messages and which it processes regularly. Accordingly, a Nullmailer process runs permanently. Sending via Nullmailer is, therefore, more robust. SSMTP is more suitable as an extra in containers.

Hi! The issue is: we are getting trigger alert emails as downloadable files. We need to download a file and then only we can see what is inside that file. We want alert as texts. Can anyone please help us out regarding this.

Could not get the old command to work with Office365. Try this one instead (don't forget to add the command line arguments in the Zabbix dashboard) /usr/bin/mail -s "$2" -r "HARDCODE_FROM_ADDRESS" "$1" <<< "$3"
