Description

This command sends test emails to the specified users. The email recipient expects to receive the test email within a specified service time. If the email is not received within the expected time period, the recipient must contact the administrator to ensure that the email settings for the user are correct. If there is still a problem, check your product support information.

The email recipient uses the test email to check that the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) name, the IP address, the SMTP port, and the user address are valid.
