minimail

Server Configuration > minimail

minimail is a simple mail transfer client which comes with SNMP Plug-in. It can be used to send notification emails on events such as trap reception. Administrator can be always notified of network events by receiving those emails using a mobile phone.

Note
minimail is installed with SNMP Plug-in on a server host. When you access the server from a remote host, minimail cannot be run on the remote host.

Note
minimail is a simple command-line mail transfer client. It cannot receive emails. It can check errors in parameter values only.

Note
If you use "Send Mail" (minimail) action command for an event, test it on Command Prompt and make sure that emails are sent as expected.

Usage

minimail is invoked by a command line. Although it can be used as an individual command-line tool, it is usually used in the action command for a specific event.
