DMASOFTLAB RM 4.x Email Notifications for various events

DMASOFTLAB Radius Manager 4.0.4  have interesting feature of email notifications for various events like account expiry warning, account renewal notification, send custom email to all users, password recovery via email verification code and many more. By default RM uses authentication less smtp server of your ISP, but in most cases Email sent from the RM box arrives in JUNK/SPAM folder in users email box, and sometimes bounces back due to black listed IP’s . This happens very frequent in my country as we widely use national telecom company internet service called PTCL, whose ip’s usually get blocked by many email services. Therefore I created this method by installing SENDMAIL in RM box, and uses my GMAIL account as SENDMAIL SMTP RELAY. This way RM sends mail via localhost, which uses valid GMAIL account to send email and email arrives in users INBOX directly 🙂

First we need to configure sendmail with gmail smtp relay. Use the below link to install.

After you have verified your smtp server is working fine by sending test email to your Hotmail/gmail/yahoo mail account.

You need to edit the following files.

/etc/radiusmanager.cfg
/var/www/radiusmanager/config/system_cfg.php
