Delivering Triggered Alerts

AirWave uses Postfix to deliver alerts and reports via email because it provides a high level of security and queues
email locally until delivery. If AirWave is located behind a firewall, preventing it from sending email directly to a
specified recipient, use the following procedures to forward email to a smarthost.
1. Add the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
relayhost = [mail.example.com]
where mail.example.com is the IP address or hostname of your smarthost
2. Run
3. Send a test message to an email address:
Mail -v user@example.com
Subject: test mail
.
CC:
4. Press Enter.
5. Check the mail log to ensure mail was sent:
tail -f /var/log/maillog
