10.3.1  Settings

During installation, WEBES asks for an SMTP server address, and for the email addresses that you want to send reports to. Without valid addresses, SEA cannot send email notifications.

After installation, you can change these settings by editing the NotifyCA.txt file in a text editor. The NotifyCA.txt file is stored at the following location, depending on your operating system:

The basic format of the NotifyCA.txt file is as follows:

SERVER=smtp.server.xyzcompany.com
FROM=sendername@xyzcompany.com
TO=username1@mailaddress1.com; username2@mailaddress2.com
CC=username3@mailaddress3.com

For changes to the NotifyCA.txt file to take effect, save the file, and stop and restart the Director (see Sections 3.8 and 3.7).

UNIX Configuration Issue

If your UNIX environment does not allow for SMTP forwarding using the normal protocol, add the following line to the NotifyCA.txt file:

CMD=mailx -s '%s' %t

You are free to substitute a different mail-sending command for mailx, if desired. SEA transparently replaces %s with the subject line of the problem report, and %t with all "TO" addresses, when forming the email message.
