Mail from a "adm@myserver.mydomain.com"

[Andres_13]

Hi all,

I'm just curious: there's a lot of mails outbound from my HP-UX 11.23 servers from the account "adm@myserver.mydomain.com" to "itadm@rsn.hp.com".

Just want to know what it means cause my firewall is stopping all of them.

hi,

There may be a misconfiguration somewhere in one application that is detecting an alert condition and sending an email to a target mailbox..

Only You can verify the processes on your system, loggings, alerts.

good luck

kind regards

Hi

Do you know which app could be sending? What is "rsn.hp.com"?

Any clues?

Regards.

No. (Do you use f90?) rsn.hp.com is a domain within HP.

I sent a message there to see if anyone responses.

FYI: I have come across the same problem. The emails are being sent by the iCOD daemon (instant Capacity on Demand software for HP-UX).

From the man page:
"iCOD attempts to connect to HP via e-mail for
purposes of asset reporting."

You can turn it off with the icod_notify command (icod_notify -a off) or alternatively configure a valid "from" address to prevent mail servers from blocking it:
icod_modify -f

To test if the emails then get through, run a test:
icod_notify
It will send you the email it sends to HP and HP should send you a reply email as well.
