10.3 Sending Notifications to Email Addresses
SEA notifies you about events by automatically sending SMTP email copies of problem reports to the addresses you specify. Although there are no restrictions on what addresses you can list, you probably do not want to send problem reports across the open Internet to recipients outside your company firewall. For example, to reach HP Services, use one of the secure service offerings described in Section 10.4 Sending Notifications to HP Services instead of sending problem reports to a service representative's email address.
For email notifications to work, the system must have connectivity to an SMTP server on the TCP/IP network, or it must be an SMTP server itself. Describing how to configure different systems as SMTP servers is beyond the scope of this manual, so see the given operating system documentation if you need help in this area.
