Sendinf Email from a policy

I have a particular policy that when its threshold is crossed and it alarms the OVOW console, I also want an email sent. When the email is sent I also want the message to auto acknowledge. For the email, would I select some smtp mechanism to run as an automated action to send the eamil? If so, is an SMTP executable included with OVOW? If not, should I use BLAT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Sendinf Email from a policy

In the script that sends the alarm you have a few options.

a line that says:

mailx -s "Policy breach" youraddress@your.net

Will get the alert out.

I'm attaching a script that can be called that will fire off an email with an attachment.

Is 'mailx' and executable or internal command in OVOW that functions like BLAT?

I see a mailx on my HP-UX NNM server, but not on the Windows 2000 OVOW 7.1 server.

If you look online, there are a number of freeware perl routines to send email from a windows server.

Re: Sendinf Email from a policy

Without adding any freeware or third pary utilities, can I use ovepmail, or a vbscript reference by cscript to have an email sent basic on a specific policy?
The FwdMsgAsEmail.vbs that is included with OVOW in samples apparently only involves the sending of email based on more global criteria, such as send email for any message that has severity critical.
