Additional information about email-based report generation is descr

Emailing Reports to Smarthost
AWMS uses Postfix to deliver alerts and reports via email, because it provides a high level of security and locally
queues email until delivery. If AWMS sits behind a firewall, which prevents it from sending email directly to the
specified recipient, use the following procedure 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
