Monitoring and Logging System Information

The commands in this example define the SMTP server to use for sending 

email alerts. The mail server does not require authentication and uses the 

standard TCP port for SMTP, port 25, which are the default values. Only 

Emergency messages (severity level 0) will be sent immediately as individual 

emails, and messages with a severity of alert, critical, and error (levels 1-3) will 

be sent in a single email every 120 minutes. Warning, notice, info, and debug 

messages are not sent in an email.

the subject is LOG MESSAGE.
