Optimal Email Configuration Issues.

APC

recommends that you

select the

Local SMTP Server

option for the

Send via

setting for the

following reasons:

• If the SMTP server does not respond to the Management Card

within 20 seconds, the Email will not be sent. Therefore, it is

best to specify a local SMTP server rather than one across the

Internet, especially if the remote SMTP server is handling large

amounts of traffic.

Note:

The Management Card has limited resources to queue

and transmit Email. Therefore, the Management Card

has relatively low time-out values.

• The local SMTP server will queue the Email and attempt to

send it several times to the remote SMTP server. When you

select the

Recipient’s SNMP Server

option, the Management

Card will try to send the Email only once.

When you select the

Local SNMP Server

option, you must do one of the

following:

• Enable forwarding at that server so that the server can route

Email to external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are

not configured to forward Email. Consult with your SMTP-server

administrator before changing the configuration of your SMTP

server to allow forwarding.

• Set up a special Email account for the Management Card. This

account would then forward the Email to an external Email

account.
