Hello everyone,

I would like to use the send email by alert but I have an error message :

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/search_guard/original/1X/0af38e6ef62f224efb7a6da91c84a0c1930c92ec.png)

Now my Watches config:

And my account :

The smtp works fine from debian with sendmail and this is the correct configuration of my account

Can you tell me where my mistake came from? Should I install sendmail on the elastic server? Or it should work with SearchGuard ?

Cordially,

Benjamin

Hi. The Signals should work with a remote mail server. You should have error(s) in the Elasticsearch log, please post the log here.

Also, please retrieve the watch document and post it here too.

If multitenancy is enabled.

```bash
curl -k -u admin:admin -X GET https://localhost:9200/_signals/watch/{tenant}/{watch_id}

```

If multitenancy is disabled.

```bash
curl -k -u admin:admin -X GET https://localhost:9200/_signals/watch/_main/{watch_id}

```

> Use the Alerting for Elasticsearch Get Watch API to retrieve configured watches by watch ID

```auto
curl -k -u admin:admin -X GET https://localhost:9200/_signals/watch/{tenant}/{watch_id}

```

i have this :

This seems to be a bug that is ocurring when using TLS enabled email accounts. As a workaround, try to set `*` as trusted host or the host name of the mail server noted in its TLS certificate.

See for details: [com.sun.mail.smtp (JavaMail API documentation)](https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html#mail.smtp.ssl.trust)
