Description
This
command adds email recipients to the email event and inventory notification
facility. You can add up to twelve recipients, one recipient at a
time. When an email user is added, if a user name is not specified,
a default name is allocated by the system. This default name has the
form of emailuser1, emailuser2,
and so on. Email notification starts when you process the startemail command.
Note: Before
you can set the usertype parameter to support,
turn the -warning and -info flags off.
Remember: When considering
e-mail addresses:
- Alphanumeric characters and additionally underscore (_),
at symbol (@), and dot (.) characters
are permitted.
- There must be exactly one @ character in the
string, and the @ characters must not start or end
the string.
- A plus (+) character is permitted
before the @ character.
For syslog servers, SNMP servers, and email users with type set to
local, the valid combinations of notification types are:
- error, warning, and
info
- error and warning
