Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Using smtpmail to email notifications

Use the smtpmail program included with the NetWorker software on Windows systems to email an event notification to a list of specified email addresses.

1. From the Administration window, click Server.
2. Click Notifications.
3. Right-click the notification, then select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
4. In the Action attribute, type the following command:

   smtpmail -s subject -h mailserver recipient1@mailserver recipient2@mailserver...

   where:

   • -s subject—Includes a standard email header with the message and specifies the subject text for that header. Without this option, the smtpmail program assumes that the message contains a correctly formatted email header and nothing is added.

   • -h mailserver—Specifies the hostname of the mail server to use to relay the SMTP email message.

   • recipient1@mailserver—Is the email address of the recipient of the notification. Multiple email recipients are separated by a space.

5. Click Ok.
