    hello
    i made a fresh install of beta09 on centos 6 and i am using mail notifications on maldet alerts and csf
    but i am not receiving any mails
    any idea why?

    edit:
    could it be due to the fact that i am using cloudflare for one of the domains?
    although i find it kind of irrelevant, but i thought to add it just in case i am missing something

    Who's your web host ? some web hosts block outgoing smtp email ports until you contact them to request unblocking i.e. Vultr does this and require you to provide ID verification to unblock you.

    Emails would only be sent if there are alerts to be sent. You can check manually if emails from server are being sent and check your junk/spam folders - see Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes | Centmin Mod Community

    test email via SSH command
    Code (Text):
    echo "test" | mail -s "test subject" youremail@address.com

    Is postfix running? I had this same problem when my server wasn't sending emails...for some reason it was disabled.
    Code (Text):
    service postfix status

    To enable it:
    Code (Text):
    service postfix start
chkconfig postfix on

    99% yes, they block by default. It vexed me for a bit, thought I was loosing it. I'd missed it in the docs and various comments. They have a $ charge if you spam/complaint gets back to them, or used to. I offload mine to services and just let the local box mail do system stuff.

    Drop them a support ticket :D
