Who is sending E-Mail Notifications for Alarms etc. ?

Hi.

We have several VMWare-Machine and a Vcenter-Server. In the VSphere-Client on the Vcenter-Server we atke the Mail Configuration with the SMTP-Server and a Sender Mailadress.

And in the Alarmdefinitions we have set two Mailadresses, where the Alarmnotification-Mails go to.

But no Mails was send.

Now. On the Vcenter-Server (Win Sv 2008) whe have McAfee installed and McAfee was blocking outgoing Port 25.

What Server or what *.exe was sending the Alarmnotification-E-Mails ? We have a Rule in McAfee that some exe´s not where blocked for outgoing Port 25.

Thanks

Jürgen

Hi,

Thank You ! But I want to know, what exe of Vmware was sending the E-Mails, so that i can make a Rule for McAfee like it is in Point 5 of Your KB-Link.

So i must know, is it the vpxd.exe in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server  Path ?

Thanks

Jürgen
