NOTE
The email address should NOT be a local domain. The default address is
rcommands@mailessentials.com. A mailbox for the configured address does not need
to exist, but the domain-part of the address must consist of a real email address domain
that returns a positive result to an MX-record lookup via DNS. This can also be a public
email account that you can manage (for example gmail or yahoo mail)

A shared password to include in the email. For more information, refer to Using remote
