Zoneminder option to send an email?

[ski007]

I have a question for more experienced with the Zoneninder program.
I do not know why despite sending emails correctly from the command line
Unfortunately, the sending of e-mails does not work with the program itself.
Sorry for my English.

Code: Select all

echo "Hello, World" | mail -s "My email check" user@linux.pl
echo "Subject: sendmail test" | sendmail -v XXX@linux.pl

both methods work.
However, when checking the logs, nothing happens?

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/syslog

I must mention that the program itself is installed on the ARM Odreoid HC1 platform. A webcam is under USB / uvc drivers
If it is not a program error or its version under ARM, it is probably the fault of my poor knowledge of Zoneminder
my choice in email options:


I installed Zoneminder using a script method :
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs Apache2, Mariadb Server, PHP and Zoneminder 1.32.x on Ubuntu 18.04 ...
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
read -p "You must be logged in as root using sudo su ...
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
apt install -y apache2 php mariadb-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.2
clear
read -p "Next secure MySQL server by entering requested information. Press enter to continue" nothing
mysql_secure_installation
clear
read -p "Next we will add the PPA repository, install and configure the system to run Zoneminder. 
Press enter to continue" nothing
apt install -y software-properties-common
clear
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32
apt update
clear
awk '$0="date.timezone = "$0' /etc/timezone >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
clear
apt install -y zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
adduser www-data video
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
service apache2 reload
clear
read -p "Install complete.Press enter to continue" nothing

Is SSMTP installed?

Can you use it successfully from the command line?

[ski007]

Yes ssmtp is installed according to howto:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
apt-get install ssmtp
apt-get install mailutils

my ssmtp.conf:

Code: Select all

root=XXX@linux.pl

# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no 
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
mailhub=mail.linux.pl:587

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=

# The full hostname
hostname=Odroid-HC1

# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
#FromLineOverride=YES
RewriteDomain=linux.pl
UseSTARTTLS=YES
UseTLS=YES
AuthUser=XXX@linux.pl
AuthPass=my_password

my config /etc/ssmtp/revaliases :

Code: Select all

root:xxx@linux.pl:mail.linux.pl:587
www-data:xxx@linux.pl:mail.linux.pl:587

check sending from the command line works OK
echo "Hello, World" | mail -s "My email check" xxx@gmail.com
You probably also need to set the filter option
but how to set up an email filter for motion detection

[ski007]

OK ....I fixed it with this entry in the command line

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /etc/ssmtp /etc/ssmtp/*

and for sending an email when motion is detected on the camera, a Filter must be created in the options
the matter is not intuitive

Guides for email configuration are on the wiki:

Filters are fundamental to ZM. They are used for scheduling everything. Heads up, you'll also need to make sure purgewhenfull filter points to the proper storage area if you use a secondary storage in 1.32.

I know this is an old post. I had the same problem. I "enabled less secure app ON" using url https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1
