 |
|
I have smartmontools on my laptop and want to run it and have it email me if something comes up. I know how to configure smartd, but that is where I stop. I assume mailutils is what was installed for use by smartd. Is this correct? If so, how do I configure it so smartd can email me if it sees an issue? I already have "-m me@my.email" in the smartd.conf file, so that is good to go. How do I get it to email me though?

I would go by the ssmtpd path. Setting it up is very straightforward, even with google accounts and SSL/TLS.
This is a working config for relaying email to a google account:
| Code: | mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
hostname=localhost
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=myusername@gmail.com
AuthPass=superGreatPassword
|
After that you can even send emails by using mail-client/mailx or equivalent.
