Optionally, you can use Notification and Set Environment before you submit.
Notification is email notification: Enter an email address and SMTP server, and you will
be notified when your batch finishes, and what the status was. Use Set Environment to
define variables on a per-batch basis. For more information, see “Setting Environment
Variables in Apple Qmaster” on page 26.
Note: Apple Qmaster does not currently support SMTP servers that require authentication.
