8 Event notification 27
8.2 Notification targets
The targets are a list of configurations which can deliver preprocessed messages to concrete recipients. Each target
has a name, which needn't be unique. When a rule action calls notify("target_name"), all targets which
have "target_name" specified as name are triggered.
Notification target configuration
Other target properties depend on the kind of the target.
8.2.1 Email notifications
Email notification targets have the following parameters:
• recipient email address (RFC 822);
• sender email address (RFC 822);
• server (hostname or IP address);
• server port (usually 465, 587 or 25 for unencrypted operations);
• username (for authenticating to the server);
• password (for authenticating to the server);
• transport encryption:
– "smtps" for SMTP wrapped completely in TLS;
– "starttls" for SMTP+STARTTLS command;
