From Email Address: The Email address that will be provided to the SMTP
server to indicate the sender of the Email being transmit-
ted. In Emails sent by CallHome, this address will appear
in the message heading as the "From: " address. This
value is required to send Emails. If there are any prob-
lems encountered in routing the Email to any of the
intended recipients, the notice of the problem will be sent
to this address. It is an important address for receiving
Email notices concerning problems.
This address is also the default address used when
replies are sent to an Email by a recipient. If the
"Reply-To: " Email address is supplied it will override the
sending of replies to the "From: " Email address by recipi-
ents. However, any notifications of Email problems sent
by any SMTP server used to route the message to the
final recipient will always send those notifications to the
"From: " address.
ReplyTo Email Address: The Email address used by mail reading programs to
determine the address that an Email should be addressed
to for a reply to a received message. This value will over-
ride the use of the "From: " address as the recipient for a
reply message.
Throttle Duplicates: This boolean setting indicates if duplicate messages
should be suppressed and accumulated. If "True", then
after an Email has been transmitted, CallHome will not
transmit Email for switch events that would result in dupli-
cate Emails during a specified time window (default is 15
seconds). The time window can be only be configured
using the command line interface. During this time win-
dow, these duplicate switch events will be accumulated to
keep track of how many have occurred. After the time win-
dow has expired, an Email message for the event will be
transmitted that also includes the count of how many
duplicate events were accumulated and the time of the
last received event. If additional switch events are
received that would result in duplicate Email messages
being sent.
