Hi, as far as I know, setting up fault management to send emails is not as straightforward as one would think. I would expect settings to have not only the destination email, but also the smtp server (ip or name) to use. Relying on system sendmail configuration is just a very headache. Why? Because usually storage servers just know how to work with virtual servers, so they may no have public dns, public connection, full mx resolution. That would be delegated to the configured smtp server (maybe just an IP/port/ssl/user/pass) that knows all this stuff. Also, even in case it knows how to deliver through mx resolution, the system will present himself with a sender that in most cases is not valid (unknown domain, or whatever). So, we should also be able to configure a sender email. Editing sendmail.cf is a madness. Something I'm not doing for ages, since I switched to postfix for my real mail servers... Just my opinion. Gabriele.
