maldet not sending emails on scans but send on manual request on report

So i am having maldet running on daily scans and i am not getting emails sent of scan reports, also when i run manual scans maldet finish scan but not sending email reports. But when i want to send report manually it works.

I did check manuals and followed up on instructions but still nothing.

In conf.maldet

email_alert="1"
email_addr="[email protected]"
email_ignore_clean="0"

And emails are not sent, i can see in logs that maldet is running daily.

Also when i hit command manually for example: maldet -a /folder/ emails are not sent.

In logs of maldet, i see all different logs but nothing about email, also nothing in email logs.

When i trigger sending report manually on email, it's sent so:

maldet --report REPORTID [email protected]

it works i receive email reports on my mail.

 

Still no one had this problem before?

 

Is there a mail server running on your server e.g. postfix?

 

Yes i have postfix installed, i have ISPConfig on that server and all services are working fine, i can send and receive emails normally fromt hat server. only maldet is not sending, and i take a look in email logs too, but there's no mention that maldet is even trying to send mail.

 

What does that configuration mean?
I know nothing about maldet, and could not find documentation on the github page. If indeed I found the same maldet you have.

 

There is a readme file on maldet installation and it says

Code:

The configuration of LMD is handled through /usr/local/maldetect/conf.maldet
and all options are well commented for ease of configuration.

And in conf.maldet it's documented like this

Code:

# Enable or disable e-mail alerts, this includes application version
# alerts as well as automated/manual scan reports. On-demand reports
# can still be sent using '--report SCANID [email protected]'.
# [0 = disabled, 1 = enabled]
email_alert="1"

# The destination e-mail addresses for automated/manual scan reports
# and application version alerts.
# [ multiple addresses comma (,) spaced ]
email_addr="[email protected]"

# Ignore e-mail alerts for scan reports in which all malware hits
# have been automatically and successfully cleaned.
# [0 = disabled, 1 = enabled]
email_ignore_clean="1"
