Hey Guys, 

So I'm trying to setup a Raspberry Pi 3 as a network monitor for my servers etc at work and am struggling with the email notification service. 

Any help would be welcomed

Ive experimented with this a bit using Nagios.

 

Most of those services are expecting that you have your own SMTP server up and running to send "from"  I tried setting one up... and i got lost using the free ways, and the paid ways are expensive AF.

 

I dont know of any of these types of things that will send an email without a local SMTP server.  maybe there is a cloud based software download for Debian?  but likely thatll be paid and im not sure that you want some other company getting access to your data.
