PfSense - How Mail to multiple recipients via shell and via gui

javcasta

Hello.

A small contribution, I just test in pfSense 2.3.1

How Mail to multiple recipients via shell:

For scripting, sometimes I miss send mail to multiple recipients from a pfSense shell.

For example if I want the output of a command is sent, not only to email defined in System> Advanced> Notifications > E-Mail

Simply by editing the file "/etc/inc/notices.inc" and the line 360 which is

$to = $config['notifications']['smtp']['notifyemailaddress'];

Add:


  $to = $config['notifications']['smtp']['notifyemailaddress'];
  $to = $to . ',' . "somebody-more-1@server.com";
  $to = $to . ',' . "somebody-more-2-2@otherserver.com";

Where I add two more email recipients.

Save and test from shell with:


 echo "multiple recipients" | mail.php -s"test multiple"

Regards.

Hello.

How Mail to multiple recipients, not only via shell

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=112360.msg625732#msg625732

System > Advanced > Notifications > E-Mail > Notification E-Mail address: set recipients with coma separator.

destinatario1@servidor.com,destinatario2@servidor2.com,destinatario3@servidor3.com

Save. And Edit file “/etc/inc/notices.inc” (about line 360), add:

  $to = $config['notifications']['smtp']['notifyemailaddress'];
  //Multiple recipientes
  $to = preg_split("/[\s,]*(\,|\;|\:)[\s]*/", $to);
  $to = implode(",",$to);

Save and test:

root# echo "multiple recipients" | mail.php -s"test multiple"

At log:

Note: (via: http://ehealth-aussie.blogspot.com/2013/07/pfsense-e-mail-alerts-sent-to-multiple.html )

For package Email-report, change in file “/etc/inc/mail_reports.inc”

$address = $config['notifications']['smtp']['notifyemailaddress'];
/* New lines start here */
    $addr_array = preg_split("/[\s,]*(\,|\;|\:)[\s]*/", $address);
    foreach($addr_array as $addr){
           $mail->AddAddress($addr, "Report Recipient ".($addr_count++));
    }
/* New lines end here */

/* Comment out the line below */
//$mail->AddAddress($address, "Report Recipient");
$mail->Subject = "{$config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']} Email Report: {$headertext}";
