SMTP connection ERROR to [127.0.0.1:25]

[Simon Young <simon-lvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've just started playing with Keepalived. It's great! At the moment, I
have one director and am using it to failover two realservers.
Everything's working just fine, except for the email alerts.

I'm seeing this in /var/log/messages:

Keepalived_healthcheckers: SMTP connection ERROR to [127.0.0.1:25]

Don't quite understand why it's trying to connect to localhost when I've
specified an SMTP host to use in the configuration file (I've replaced
'mydomain' with my real domain in the real config file):


global_defs {
   notification_email {
     lvsalert@mydomain
   }
   notification_email_from keepalived@mydomain
   smtp_server 194.xx.xxx.xxx
   smtp_connect_timeout 30
   lvs_id DIRECTOR_1
}


Any pointers greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks,

Simon.
