Hello,
in 4.1.0 I made some tests configuring the events' notifier service and I modified the file

/usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf

changing these:

# The SMTP mail server address. Required.
MAIL_SERVER=localhost
(I use postfix on engine server, configured with smart relay to my mail server)

# Specifies 'from' address on sent mail in RFC822 format, if supported by mail server.
 
# Specifies 'reply-to' address on sent mail in RFC822 format.
(it seems it is not honored.... in the received e-mail if I click reply I get an empty To: field...

During update to 4.1.1 the engine-setup failed in closing phase, due to the file being overwritten by the 4.1.1 package version of the conf file.

[ INFO  ] Stage: Closing up
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed to start service 'ovirt-engine-notifier'

I fixed it creating a file 20-mailsetup.conf under
​​
/etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/

Is it the correct location? 

​Yes, every custom change to notifier configuration should be done by creating a file inside ​
 
​​/etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/
Also it's a convention that ​automatically generated files have number < 50 and user provided files have number > 50, so I'd personally rename your file into 99-mailsetup.conf (but it's just a convention :-)

The same practise is also used for engine: you should not change /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/​ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.conf but create a new file under /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d


It was not so clear reading this page when configuring it....

Thanks,
Gianluca
