E-Mail Requirements
The iCOD software sends an encrypted e-mail message, which contains
the iCOD system’s asset report, to an audit system located at HP. See
“iCOD System Configuration Information Reported to HP” on page 31 for
details of the information reported to HP. The e-mail requirements are:
• The iCOD system/partition is required to have sendmail installed
and configured such that it has the ability to send e-mail to the
hp.com domain.
• The domain name in the iCOD FROM e-mail address, for the e-mail
sent from the iCOD system to HP, must be DNS resolvable by HP.
See “Configuring iCOD’s FROM E-mail Address” on page 29 for
details.
IMPORTANT The e-mail is bounced/rejected by the mail servers at HP if the domain
name in the FROM address, for the e-mail sent from the iCOD system to
HP, is not DNS resolvable by HP.
Note that the sendmail configuration and routing may vary, but the
iCOD system must have the ability to send e-mail to the hp.com domain.
The ability to receive e-mail from HP is optional, but you may find it
useful for testing the capability of sending e-mail to HP. For more
information see “Configuring Your Server to Send but Not Receive
E-Mail” on page 30. Refer to the sendmail(1M) manpage for more
information on sendmail.
sendmail is part of the HP-UX core and is installed with the HP-UX
operating system. However, a sendmail configuration process needs to
be followed to complete its installation. For information, refer to the
chapter titled Installing and Administering sendmail, in the appropriate
documentation:
