================ The problem ====================
I have configured SMTP for alerting. The SMTP server is reachable from librenms server. However, when I am trying to send mail alert, its getting failed. While checking the issue, we have found that the sender email address is being input as receiver email address. For this reason we are getting authentication error.
Please find the test alert output and mail.php file configuration(as per instruction I did not modify it) as following:
