Hi brinkdogg,

Same problem:
"Zabbix says it "done" but never get an email I've tried .sh .py - nothing. But when I test manually I get emails without issue"

I just set this up on Zabbix 3.2.6 built from source running on Ubuntu 16.04 using https://www.jc.me.uk/2016/06/19/installing-zabbix-3-0-on-ubuntu-16-04.

• I downloaded the script to /usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts and changed extension to .py
• chmod +x *.py
• chown -R zabbix:zabbix /usr/local/share/zabbix
• nano zabbix-alert-smtp.py and change MAIL_ACCOUNT, MAIL_PASSWORD and SENDER_NAME
• In UI go to Administration, Media types, Create media type and enter Type Script, Name Gmail, Script name zabbix-alert-smtp.py, add Script parameters:
  {ALERT.SENDTO}
  {ALERT.SUBJECT}
  {ALERT.MESSAGE}
  and click Add. This is important otherwise the parameters are not passed to the script.
• In UI add the GMail media type to your user and set up action.

If it doesn't work then change Zabbix DebugLevel=4 and restart Zabbix server and test again. Then look in log /tmp/zabbix_server.log for zabbix-alert-smtp.py and after that you should see the return code and error message.

Works fine with Ubnt + Zabbbix 3.2.1 ))
Thanks to @bennetraja and others!
Don't forget to add "Script parameters" !!!

@sgjava
I followed those steps and it worked for Office365. Make sure that each script parameter is on its own line. I accidentally tried copying and pasting all of them into one parameter line which doesn't work.

I was also been experiencing the issue of not receive the alert mail.
I have done two things which solved the problem.

I have added the script parameters as suggested by @bennetraja
I have also set the media type name just as Script. not as the actual script name.

I have just created the account to share my findings here.
I am more than happy to help for those who still couldn't crack it after seeing this post.

It works!!! =D
Don't forget to add the script parameters as pointed about above!!! (follow sgjava's comment)

OK folks, my Zabbix server sharted, so I had to rebuild it. A little different this time with ODROID XU4, mainline kernel, Ubuntu 18.04, Zabbix Server 3.4.11 and Python 3 (Python 2 not installed by default). Hopefully my loss is your gain :) Since the original script doesn't work on Python 3 you'll need to edit that. I was too lazy to do a PR :)

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header
from email.utils import formatdate

print(u'requires 3 parameters (recipient, subject, body) \t$ zabbix-gmail.sh recipient subject body')

The rest of the stuff in my previous post is still relevant.

Test with:
sudo -H -u zabbix python3 /usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts/zabbix-alert-smtp.py [email protected] test testbody

Great job. This script works fine with Zabbix 4.0.5 running on Centos 7.6.1810
