Email alerts to localhost

Hi,
I am trying to configure the mail alerts for sophos av for linux but i'm getting the following error in the log:
10:12:14 (17838): Examining 2015-10-27.14-16-39.o3zs8f (on 17838)
10:12:14 (17838): Retrying 2015-10-27.14-16-39.o3zs8f (on 17838)
10:12:14 (17838): Emailing root@localhost via localhost
10:12:14 (17838): Socket error while attempting to send email to port 25 of server localhost

Could you please suggest a solution?

Thanks and regards,
Adil.

Hello adil,

if you indeed want to send to root@localhost a mail server you have to set up a mail server on this machine (e.g. postfix). Looks like you haven't actually configured the email alerts though, these seem to be the defaults. Please see the Configuration Guide, chapter 13.3.

Hello Adil,

I have configured the email server
Is it running? The SMTP log message claims that nobody is listening on port 25. You might want to check with sudo netstat -lnpt.
