HP SIM event email editing

[Steve Van Fleet]

Is it possible to edit the text of the email messages sent? For example, I receive this when a server goes down:

Event Name: System is unreachable
Event originator: servername
Event Severity: Critical
Event received: 13-May-2004, 13:34:25
Event description: The current system is no longer reachable from the central management server, hardware status polling has marked this system as not responding

Thanks for any help.

No, not directly.
The alternative, which I use here, is to run a command insetead.
Typically I use perl, various variables are sent to any command that is run that can be used by default.
These include all of the information above.

I reformat messages and then send them using the blat SMTP Mailer.

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the quick response. That answers my question alright. Good steer on the Blat reference, i'll do that if this gets too annoying .
