no emails from alarms or errors

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Hi

I'm new to the latest Cumulus MX having used Cumulus 1 for a number of years.

Just got back into Cumulus and MX with a raspberry pi image

Test email failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

You configure via your web browser, it's the same interface you use to configure the alarms. From the menu select...
Settings | Internet Settings | Email Server Settings
