Can't get Zabbix to email alerts

I've recently spun up a new Zabbix 3.0 instance on Ubuntu 16.04 using Php 7.0 and I am running into a lot of issues trying to get it to e-mail the Zabbix administrators. We are trying to use Amazon SES to send out the e-mails. For our setup, we have a usename & password that was generated by SES we are using port 587 with SSL/TLS connection. I've made sure that the alert is enabled and that the E-mail media type was enabled as well. I've also double checked the Zabbix is compiled with SMTP & TLS support. I've also verified that the Zabbix server can get to the Amazon SMTP endpoint on port 587. From the messages it seems to be some form of a communication issue, but everything I've tried isn't really getting me anywhere.

Just for reference, I do have Zabbix running off of HTTPS. To get that configured I just made a change to the Apache sites-enabled default file to point to the certificate on the local machine. They are signed certificates. I had also installed the most recent openssl package

Has anyone ran into this issue before or know of what might be happening?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks :)

Solution

  • 587 is STARTTLS, use 465 for SSL/TSL (don't forget to configure security group): enter image description here

    You may have problems with email/email domain verification. Be sure that's OK.
