Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) actions are used to send
messages (e-mail) over the SMTP protocol in response to the triggering
of an associated policy.
To create a new SMTP (e-mail)
action:
If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
In the left
pane of the Console, select Diagnostics > Diagnostic
Modules.
In the
Diagnostic System Modules table, select the name
of the diagnostic system module you want to assign the action
to.
Select Configuration > Policies and Actions >
Actions.
Click New.
Select SMTP (E-Mail) from the Type list and click
Next.
Enter a name for the action in the Action
Name field.
Enter the timeout period in the Timeout (in
seconds) field. The timeout period is the length of time,
in seconds, that an action has to complete execution. By default, the
timeout period is 0, which disables the action
timeout.
To enable or disable this action, select or deselect the
Enable Action box.
Click Next.
On the Action Configuration - SMTP Properties page:
In Mail Session Name, select the mail
session you want to use for this SMTP action. Alternatively, click
Create a New Mail Session to create a new
mail session for this SMTP action.
In E-Mail Recipients, enter the e-mail
addresses of the recipients you want to notify when this action
executes.
In the E-mail Subject section, select either Use
Default or Customize. If you
select Customize, enter the desired e-mail
subject in the E-Mail Subject field.
In the E-mail Body section, select either Use
Default or Customize. If you
select Customize, enter the desired e-mail
body in the E-Mail Body field.
