Crowdsec does not send notifications

NethServer Version: NS 8
Module: Crowdsec

Good evening,

Now that NS 8 is doing what NS 7 has done reliably over the years, I have installed and set up Crowdsec. So far, so good. Multiple deliberately incorrect login attempts with my smartphone were recognised immediately and the IP was temporarily blocked. Unfortunately, what doesn’t work is the notification by email about the blocked IP, as I’m used to from Fail2Ban.

The mail server is set up. Mattermost and Nextcloud can successfully send notifications. I have saved my email address in the Crowdsec settings, but unfortunately no notifications arrive at this address. I configured the mail server for the notifications manually in the NS 8 settings. Can someone tell me the correct Crowdsec configuration for sending mails?

Thanks…

Uwe

Hi @stephdl and thanks for the reply.

I have entered a valid e-mail address. And if I enter the SMTP of my ISP in the e-mail notifications tab in the settings, the notifications from Crowdsec also work. The only question is why I can’t get it to work with the mail server already installed on my NS 8.

this is a feature of mail 1.4 but you need to set in the settings that you want to send by your mail server

additionally you can create in the relay a default rule to send any mail of your mail server with the smtp of your provider
