Monit sending alerts to root@localhost.yourdomain.com

[DA_MAN]

I just made a new install of CWP 7 and turned on Monit. For some reason even though I have changed the alert address it insists on sending the alerts to: "root@localhost.yourdomain.com" where it gets stuck in the postfix mail queue. - I never have had this problem before.

Where do I go to change this address? Thanks in advance.

Hi, there.

Try to use CWPadmin: CWP Settings => Edit settings. Admin email + forward server system emails

Nope.  This did not work for my particular situation.

I am having the same thing

I had the same issue.

After some digging, here is what I found:

CWP Dashboard -> Email -> MailServer Manager

Fix your Current Settings in Postfix:

mydomain = mydomain.com
myhostname = websrv.mydomain.com
(change the names to match your information)

Don't forget to check:

✔AntiSpam/AntiVirus (recommended)
✔rDNS Check (recommended)    
✔Install DKIM & SPF (recommended)
✔Install Policyd (recommended)

Then, "REBUILD MAIL SERVER" .

Depending on the speed of your machine, I had to wait a good 20 min, maybe more.
After that, I checked:

CWP Settings -> Edit settings
make sure you have set an email in the = CSF/LFD Alerts

Then I rebooted the server, check email settings,s and the CWP dashboard (CWP info) box for "Hostname".

Fixed

Hope this helps.
