If desired, enable Add event description to subject to have the description of the Event
Viewer message appended to the end of the subject line. This field is optional.

Filter Contents—Specify which Event Viewer messages that you want to be sent via e-mail.
Specify Information, Warning, and/or Error. You can also specify which Event Viewer
messages to exclude based on the Event ID. Enter the Event IDs as a comma or semicolon
separated list. You can indicate ranges within the list.
NOTE: You can test e-mail notification by specifying the options on the E-mail Notification tab
and clicking Test. (By default, the test will be run from the machine where the
Managemet Console is running.) If desired, you can send the test message to a different
e-mail address by selecting Send To and entering a comma or semicolon separated list
of addresses. Modify the message text up to 1024 characters, if necessary. Click Send to
test the e-mail notification. The results will be displayed in a message box. Click OK to
close the message and click Close to return to the E-mail Notification tab.
E-mail notification will not function properly if the application or system event logs are
full. It is recommended that:

These event logs be less than 80% full.

These event logs overwrite old events. Disable the option "Do not overwrite events."

The maximum size of these event logs be increased. Set the maximum size of the
event logs to at least 1024 KB.
These settings can be accessed through the Event Viewer by right-clicking the Application
log and selecting Properties. Repeat this for the System log also.
If an error occurs while sending an e-mail, an Event message will be generated. This
Event message will not trigger an e-mail. Subsequent e-mail errors will not generate
additional Event messages. When an e-mail is sent successfully, an Event message will
then be generated. If another e-mail fails, one Event message will again be generated.
This is a cyclical process where one Event message will be generated for each group of
failed e-mail messages, one for each group of successful e-mail messages, one for the
next group of failed messages, and so on.
If you start and then immediately stop the Storage Mirroring service, you may not get
e-mail notifications for the log entries that occur during startup.
By default, most virus scan software blocks unknown processes from sending traffic on
port 25. You need to modify the blocking rule so that Storage Mirroring e-mail messages
are not blocked.
