okay made a lot of progress now. It arrived at the server but never seems
to either get parsed by the .procmail in the xymon home directory or not
being processed correctly. Any ideas?****

That error is postfix tell you it can’t deliver. Did you edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf and at least set the ‘myhostname’ variable to the
fqdn for your host?****

Well we are getting closer. I am now able to telnet to the server. I tried
to send mail to the server but kicked off every time i try to do the
subject line.****

I have the .procmailrc file set up as per the xymon man page, still not
sure if the "Mailbox" is a directory or file. and the directory structure
of the xymon home directory looks like this.****

This feature is one of the most important to the company I work for and
have been trying to get it to work for a couple of days now. We even added
an MX record for the server so mail can be delivered to it directly. Telnet
works locally and remote.****
****
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, you have all been a huge
help so far and this monitoring tool has done wonders for this company.***

I am using Centos 6.2****

By default Centos (aka Red Hat) v6 boxes run postfix (rather than
Sendmail).****
****
During my install I do not remember installing anything as the mail
transport, but the alerting was working right out of the box from day one.
****
****
Initially, postfix is configured so it won't accept SMTP connections from
off the box. So outbound emails will get sent OK, but incoming emails will
not get delivered to the Xymon server.****
****
Test this by attempting to telnet to the Xymon server on port 25 from
another device, such as a Windows PC, with "telnet xymon.server.name 25".
If you get a "connection refused" or similar message, than you need to
reconfigure Postfix to accept remote connections.****
****
I followed the man page for the mailack and created everything as per
the instructions, but I am not even sure the mail is reaching the server at
this point.****
****
Probably not. Have a look at the "STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README" file
that came with Postfix for instructions on setting things up, particularly
the "Postfix on a local network" section.****
