how to change source email address on netbackup notification

Netbackup 9.1.0.1 on

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8

Question: We get email notifications about vaulting from NetBackup@servername.com. We want to change that source email address to NetBackup_prod@Some.domain.com 

Can this be done?

I checked the script backup exit notify script in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin but it does not have anything for vaulting. Also it generates way too many emails. 

Does anyone has a solution for this ?

  • Hi,

    Please added the below entry in master server bp.conf file and check the mail address;

    MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS = 

     

    or you can try to edit mail.rc on masterserver

    Edit the file /etc/mail.rc within the relevant instance by making the following changes to add TLS authentication in additional to the SMTP server information. (will require to use sudo)

    set smtp=smtp.office365.com:587
    set smtp-auth-user=user@domain.com
    set smtp-auth-password=[password]
    set ssl-verify=ignore
    set nss-config-dir=/etc/pki/nssdb/
    set smtp-use-starttls

    set from=someuser@domain.com

    Best Regards
