Subject Prefix and Add event description to subject—The subject of each e-mail notification
will be in the format Subject Prefix : Server Name : Message Severity : Message ID : Message
Description. The first and last components (Subject Prefix and Message Description) are optional.
The subject line is limited to 150 characters.
If desired, enter unique text for the
Subject Prefix which will be inserted at the front of the
subject line for each Storage Mirroring e-mail message. This will help distinguish Storage
Mirroring messages from other messages. This field is optional.
If desired, enable
Add event description to subject to have the description of the message
appended to the end of the subject line. This field is optional.

Filter Contents—Specify which messages that you want to be sent via e-mail. Specify
Information, Warning, and/or Error. You can also specify which messages to exclude based on
the message ID. Enter the message 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. 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.
If an error occurs while sending an e-mail, a message will be generated. This message
will not trigger an e-mail. Subsequent e-mail errors will not generate additional
messages. When an e-mail is sent successfully, a message will then be generated. If
another e-mail fails, one message will again be generated. This is a cyclical process where
one 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 daemon, 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.
