email alert gives exception

[jagdeep]

Hello, I have been trying to set up an alert with some conditions, and have defined an email address this alert should be sent to on meeting the condition.

My condition is to send the alert if there are more than 40 active threads. I see from the monitor that there are 50 active threads at any given time.

But the JON app fails when sending emails. From the logs I see the following exception at regular intervals. I have tried with my company email id and also a general id like gmail. Have I missed defining something somewhere?
Thanks.
Exception is:
12:24:24,030 ERROR [AlertManagerBean] One or more notifications for Alert[id=1001102] failed: Exception reading response
12:25:22,109 ERROR [EmailManagerBean] Failed to send email [ [ALERT] priority of [!! - Medium] for alert [test alert] on resource [MyMachine JBossAS 4.2.2.GA default (0.0.0.0:2999)]] to recipient [[e-mail]]

Hi,

ask the person managing the smtp server you are using for logfile excerpts. I can imagine that the smtp server is rejecting the sender address, as it does not know them.
But the mail admin should be able to tell you why the server you are using is dropping the connection.
