<![CDATA[SMTP timeout]]>Hi,

I'm getting this error some time from Event Browser 'SYS_SMTP_FAILURE' 'Unable to send e-mail to support@example.org: Communication Failure'

Did this mean that NetXMS server is timing out connecting on the SMTP server? Is there a way to set or extend the SMTP timeout? I need to make sure that all notifications are being send.

thanks!

Thanks Victor. While I'm waiting for this feature to be implemented I think the best thing to do right now is to activate or install SMTP service on the NetXMS server itself.

Yes, this should be a reasonable workaround.

Best regards,
Victor

Yes, "Communication failure" means that NetXMS server was unable to connect to SMTP server. You cannot change connect timeout, it's a system wide setting.
However, I can implement mail resending in case of failures. I'll put it onto feature request list.

Best regards,
Victor
