email - Configure the administrator email account and email addresses to use.
[1] email [ftp [<email-address>]]
[2] email [admin [[<email-address>] [<name>]]]
[3] email [account [raz | (<server> | auto) <port> <username> [<password>]]]
[4] email [send <email-address> [<name> [<subject> [<message>]]]]
This command is used to Configure the email server to send email from the system and set email addresses. The first [1] usage form is used to set or get the email address to use as the username when connecting to anonymous FTP servers.
The second [2] usage form is used to set or get the appliance administrator email address and name. The name must be a combination of alphanumeric characters and the space character. The administrator email address can be displayed in information and error Web pages generated by the system.
Some configuration files managed by the system (such as IPsec VPN client profile files) can be sent by email. Emails are sent from the administrator email address (set using the second [2] usage form). The third [3] usage form is used to set or get the administrator email account details to use when sending emails. Please note that only email servers that support StartTLS and PLAIN authentication can be used. To configure the administrator email account details, use the keyword account followed by the MTA server name, the TCP port on which the MTA is listening on (usually 587), the username associated to administrator email address (usually the same as the administrator email address) and the authentication password for that username.
If no password is given on the command line, the password is requested in hidden mode (see also the command password). To let the system to guess the MTA server name associated to the administrator email address, you can use the auto keyword as the MTA server name. To erase the MTA server name you can use the raz keyword.
You can use the fourth [4] usage form to send an email using the current (not new) administrator email account. This usage form can be very helpful to validate that the configured administrator email account is operational. To send a testing email you can omit all optional arguments.
