Delivering Triggered Alerts

AWMS uses Postfix to deliver alerts and reports via email, because it provides a high level of security and
queues email locally until delivery. If AWMS 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.Aruba.com]
where mail.Aruba.com is the IP address or hostname of your smarthost
2. Run service postfix restart.
3. Send a test message to an email address:
Mail -v xxx@xxx.com
Subject: test mail
.
CC:
4. Press Enter.
5. Check the mail log to ensure mail was sent
