Sending Reports to a Smart Host
W-AirWave uses Postfix to deliver alerts and reports via email, because it provides a high level of security and
locally queues email until delivery. If W-AirWave sits behind a firewall, which prevents it from sending email
directly to the specified recipient, use the following procedure to forward email to a smart host.
1. Add the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
relayhost = [mail.example.com]
Where: mail.example.com is the IP address or hostname of your smart host.
2. Run service postfix restart
3. Send a test message to an email address.
Mail -v [e-mail]
Subject: test mail
.
CC:
4. Press Enter.
5. Check the mail log to ensure mail was sent by running this command:
tail -f /var/log/maillog
