- Use the CLI command mail set message to enable (set) e-mail message reporting for one event, several or more events, or all events. This command provides a switch for each event type, so that you can specifically indicate the events for which you want e-mail message reporting. See the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for information on the mail set message command, including each of the event type switches.
- Use the CLI command mail clear message to disable (clear) e-mail message reporting for one event, several or more events, or all events. This command provides a switch for each event type, so that you can specifically indicate the events for which you do not want e-mail message reporting. See the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for information on the mail clear message command, including each of the event type switches.
