Email notification channel
The most common method of notification is through email. This is especially true now that
smartphones have email capability, and the cost of sending an email to a smartphone is an
order of magnitude lower than the cost of sending an SMS. Prior to configuring an email noti-
fication channel, you'll need to have access to an SMTP server and have configured a mailbox
to be used for return email addresses, should it be necessary to provide an email response to
a notification.
To enable an email notification channel, perform the following steps:
1.
In the Administration workspace of the Operations Manager console, right-click the
Channels node under Notifications, click New Channel, and then click E-Mail (SMTP).
On the Settings page of the E-Mail Notification Channel Wizard, click Add.
2.
On the Add SMTP Server dialog box, enter the FQDN of the SMTP server. Figure 3-15
shows this set to Smtp.tailspintoys.internal, and click OK.
