The testemail command allows you to send an e-mail notification to one user of the e-mail notification function or to all users of the e-mail notification function to ensure that the function is operating correctly.
Parameters
- userid_or_name
- (Required if you do not specify -all) Specifies the user ID or user name of the e-mail recipient that you want to send a test e-mail to. You cannot use this parameter with the -all parameter. The userid_or_name value must not contain spaces.
- -all
- (Required if you do not specify userid_or_name) Sends a test e-mail to all e-mail users configured to receive notification of events of any notification type. No attempt is made to send the test e-mail to an e-mail user who does not have any notification setting set to on.
Description
This command sends test e-mails to the specified e-mail users. The e-mail recipient expects to receive the test e-mail within a specified service time. If the e-mail is not received within the expected time period, the recipient must contact the administrator to ensure that the e-mail settings for the user are correct. If there is still a problem, you must contact the IBM® Support Center.
The e-mail recipient uses the test e-mail to check that the SMTP name, the IP address, the SMTP port, and the user address are valid.
