This tutorial will show you how to setup LinuxMCE to respond to events by Email. Example would be emailing a notification when a security sensor is tripped.


Step 1. Configure your mail settings.

Wizard > basic info > Email setup

The questions asked here are fairly straight forward if you know the correct answers. if you are unsure i would suggest trying to configure pop/smtp account on a computer at home first with the same settings. remember your smtp server must be able to authenticate with a username and password.

use the test button to confirm your mail settings are correct.


Step 2.

Home > My Devices > Core > DCERouter > General Info Plug-in > send command to device > Send Mail

test directly in command line:


Shell>mail -v youremailhere
Subject: asdf
just add a period and enter after this line
.
EOT
Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.

see if postfix is running


Shell>pstree | grep master
master-pickup

logs go watch.

tail -f /var/log/pluto/DCERouter.log
tail -f /var/log/mail.log
tail -f/var/log/syslog
