I have created two notifications for the bootstrap. (NW 7.3.3,Windows 2K3)

[1] Event: savegroup

[2] Event: savegroup
    Priority: critical
    Action: smtpmail -h <IP_Addres> -s "Bootstrap Report" <Email>

# 1 is working fine but I am not getting any emails.

There are no errors in the daemon.log and savegrp.log.

What could be the prob ?

I am using the same smtp server for the savegrp failure and those are working just fine.



I've read psoni's follow-up post saying there was a comms error, but it's also worth pointing out that various versions of NetWorker have for some reason failed to work with any additional bootstrap notifications. This has been an error limited _only_ (so I've been able to tell) to bootstrap notifications. The original notification would work, and would continue to work no matter how it was modified. Additional notifications however would not fire off at all. This was particularly prevalent as a recurring bug in earlier 7.x releases.

(Sounds like it's not happening to psoni in this case, but if anyone else has had this problem the solution may be that you have to upgrade your NetWorker to get access to secondary bootstrap notifications.)

Cheers,

Preston.
