Health check event notifications and scheduled reports can use the same mail server. If you use the CLI to configure the server, you must use two separate sets of CLI commands. The mail server settings are described in the following table.
System mail server settings
Web UI Field | Health Check CLI Parameter | Report CLI Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Enable email | — | — | Enables the email delivery of health check notifications and scheduled reports. MTA health check notifications must be enabled separately. See Configuring MTA event notification thresholds for details. |
Mail hub | mailhub | server | The hostname or IP address of the mail server. |
Port | mailhub-port | port | The SMTP port used to send the emails. The default is 25. |
Domain | domain | domain | The domain name from which emails will appear to come. The default is the active domain for the appliance. |
Return Addr | return-addr | return-addr | Health check parameter: The username or fully qualified return address from which emails are sent. If the string contains the @ character, it is considered fully qualified. Otherwise, it is considered a username, and by default takes the form <username>@<hostname>.<domain>. The default username is do-not-reply. Report parameter: The fully qualified return address from which emails are sent. |
Incl. hostname | return-host | — | Whether the appliance hostname is included in the return address. If it is excluded, the return address takes the form <username>@<domain>. This setting is ignored if the provided return address is fully qualified. |
