Email recipients, Optimal Email Configuration Issues. APC recommends that you

continuedselect the Local SMTP Server option for the Send via setting for the following reasons:

If the SMTP server does not respond to the Management Card within 20 seconds, the Email will not be sent. Therefore, it is best to specify a local SMTP server rather than one across the Internet, especially if the remote SMTP server is handling large amounts of traffic.

Note: The Management Card has limited resources to queue and transmit Email. Therefore, the Management Card has relatively low time-out values.

The local SMTP server will queue the Email and attempt to send it several times to the remote SMTP server. When you select the Recipient’s SNMP Server option, the Management Card will try to send the Email only once.

When you select the Local SNMP Server option, you must do one of the following:

Enable forwarding at that server so that the server can route Email to external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to forward Email. Consult with your SMTP-server administrator before changing the configuration of your SMTP server to allow forwarding.

Set up a special Email account for the Management Card. This account would then forward the Email to an external Email account.
