HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide (762794-001, March 2014)

From email address is undesirable, you can configure the Instant Capacity software to use a From
address you specify.
Configuring a specified From Address
To configure your specified Instant Capacity From email address, execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/icapmodify -f from_address
You can verify the configured Instant Capacity From email address by using the
/usr/sbin/icapstatus command.
After you configure a specified From email address, the Instant Capacity software uses it on all
subsequent email messages sent from your system.
Reverting to the default From Address
If you specified an Instant Capacity From email address and you want to revert to the default From
email address ([e-mail]), execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/icapmodify -f ""
Configuring your server to send but not receive email
For security reasons, some organizations do not allow incoming mail. If you want your Instant
Capacity system to only send email but not receive email, complete the following configuration
procedure:
1. To prevent the sendmail daemon from starting up again when your system reboots, edit the
/etc/rc.config.d/mailservs file, and change the value of SENDMAIL_SERVER to 0:
vi /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs
#########################################
# Mail configuration. See sendmail(1m) #
#########################################
#
# BSD’s popular message handling system
#
# SENDMAIL_SERVER: Set to 1 if this is a mail server
# and should run the sendmail deamon.
# SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME: If this is not a mail server, but a
# client being served by another
# system, then set this variable to
# the name of the mail server system
# name so that site hiding can be
# performed.
#
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
2. To immediately stop the server from receiving email, kill the active sendmail daemon by
executing the following command:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
Testing email transmission of the asset report
NOTE: The following procedure assumes your Instant Capacity system is capable of sending
internet email.
Execute the following command to send your asset report by email to HP:
/usr/sbin/icapnotify <reply_address>
The specified reply_address receives an acknowledgment email from HP confirming the receipt
of your asset report. Use an email client to verify the acknowledgment email from HP to the
reply_address.
