OK - how do you configure the application with information
about where to send the traps? What sort of application is
this anyway?

This is not correct.
(Which is why I asked you to read (and re-read and re-re-read) the
specified FAQ entry).
Whenever the agent wants to send a notification, the first line
will convert that notification to SNMPv1 trap format and send it
to the specified destination.
The second line will then convert that *same* notification to
SNMPv2c trap format, and send it to the (same) specified destination.

Again, not true.
This does exactly the same as the first two lines, except that it
converts every notification to an SNMPv2c INFORM format, and sends
it to the (same specified destination).
Every trap, *including* the 'coldStart' trap will be sent three
times to this system. This Is Not What You Want. Do Not Do It.

But it's *exactly* the same information each time.
You don't post the same message to a mailing list in English,
French and Spanish - why send three copies of the same trap
in three subtly different formats?

^^^^^^^^^^^^
In other words, you are sending it to the standard port (162)
on the system 10.104.17.52
Try specifying "10.104.17.52:9162" (or "127.0.0.1:9162") instead.
