The autosupport daemon is enabled by default on the filer. The daemon triggers
automatic email messages to customer-defined administrator accounts, alerting them
to potential filer problems.

Because the filer doesnt function as a mail host, it relies on another host at your site
that listens on the SMTP port (25) to send mail. Therefore, autosupport requires at
least one host reachable by the filer that runs an SMTP server or a mail forwarder,
such as the sendmail program or Microsoft Exchange server. By default, the admin-
istration host defined during setup is used as a mail host. You can specify more mail
hosts.

You can specify up to five addresses of email recipients.
Refer to Use the Options Command to Configure Autosupport for more
information about specifying the email address and other options.
