Configuring a mail server

BMC Server Automation jobs can generate email upon their completion. To enable this capability, you must configure a mail server. You do not have to configure a mail server if you are not using the system's ability to generate email.

  1. Start the Application Server Administration console, as described in Starting the Application Server Administration console.
  2. To specify the name or IP address of the SMTP server, enter the following:
    set emailconfig smtpserver <hostname>
     where <hostname> is the name or IP address of the host managing email. (SMTP stands for simple mail transfer protocol.)
  3. To specify the email address from which system-generated email is sent, enter the following:
    set emailconfig fromaddress <address>
     where <address> is the address from which mail should be sent.

  4. To display the email address for technical support, enter the following:
    show emailconfig techsupport 

    Warning

    Note

    The techsupport parameter is a read-only parameter.

  5. Restart the Application Server.
