Sending SMTP Alerts

To alert system administrators of problems, the switch can use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send

email messages when triggered by logging events of a specified level. The messages are sent to specified

SMTP servers on the network and can be retrieved using POP or IMAP clients.
