Setting up e-mail servers using the CLI

You can set up e-mail server objects using the command-line interface (CLI).

You can specify a server object that describes a remote Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server to receive event notifications from the cluster. You can specify up to six servers to receive notifications. To configure and work with e-mail servers, use the following commands:

Issue the svctask mkemailserver CLI command to create an e-mail server object that describes a remote Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server. For example, issue the following CLI command to set up an e-mail server:
```
svctask mkemailserver -ip ip_address  
```
where ip_address is the IP address of a remote e-mail server. This must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
To change the parameters of an existing e-mail server object, issue the svctask chemailserver command. For example:
```
svctask chemailserver -ip ip_address email_server_name_or_id
```
where ip_address is the IP address of the e-mail server object and email_server_name_or_id is the name or ID of the server object to be changed.
To delete a specified e-mail server object, issue the svctask rmemailserver command. For example:
```
svctask rmemailserver email_server_name_or_id
```
To display either a concise list or a detailed view of e-mail servers that are configured on the cluster, issue the svcinfo lsemailserver command. For example, to display a concise view, enter the following command:
```
svcinfo lsemailserver -delim :
```
To display a detailed view of an e-mail server, enter the following command:
```
svcinfo lsemailserver email_server_name_or_id
```
