Or is email perhaps not a good way to get notifications when there is a problem?
Maybe email in this manner is old-skool and it would be better to use something else?
Like external log server, system monitoring (Zabbix) perhaps?
Yeah I would use SIEM. Then you'd create and manage your alerts from there. You could send to email, slack, etc.
You can use postfix for alerting as JB mentioned. I use postfix on the my personal servers because I don't manage enough to justify a SIEM.
I don’t use it for alerts. I use it for normal email notification stuff. It is all filed into a folder that is never read unless there is an issue. It is there for historical research.
For alerting, you want something not email from the server that has the problem, because odds are better than zero that it will not be able to send it.
