Tripwire's emailto option is not working for me. In the policy file for each rules section I have:



(

rulename = "Tripwire Data Files",

severity = $(SIG_HI),

emailto = "myname@mydomain.com"

)



the program is being called with: tripwire --check --email-report



After several tries, I added (to the @@global section of my policy)

emailto = "myname@mydomain.com" to no avail.



Redhat Linux 7.1 - Tripwire 2.3.0.50



Thanks!

Just to add, the tripwire --test option handled email w/o problems.

Did you ever get this problem solved? I have worked on the same problem for some time and have not solved the problem with it not recognizing emailto lines in the policy file. When I look at the screen output, it always says "No email recipients specified, no email sent." even though they are there.

I did find a workaround solution. I put the following line in the twcfg.txt file:

GLOBALEMAIL = user@domain.com

and now emails get sent to "user@domain.com. This doesn't allow sending individual emails per each rule but at least I am getting one email sent.

If you have suceeded in fixing the problem, please let me know how you solved it.

Thanks

Yes, there is a way for this to work by entering the command:
tripwire --check --email-report

This should email the report to the designated recipient in the policy file


I had your same problem and could not figure out why the recipient was not getting the reports when I would just enter the command:

tripwire --check

Also - you have to make sure that sendmail is up and working if that is what you have in your configuration file for MAILMETHOD.
