HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

You can verify the configured Instant Capacity FROM e-mail address by using the
/usr/sbin/icapstatus command.
After you have configured a specified FROM e-mail address, the Instant Capacity software uses
it on all subsequent e-mail messages sent from your system.
Reverting to the Default FROM Address
If you have specified an Instant Capacity FROM e-mail address and you want to revert to the
default FROM e-mail address ([e-mail]), execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/icapmodify -f ""
Configuring Your Server to Send but Not Receive E-Mail
For security reasons, some organizations do not wish to allow incoming mail. If you want your
Instant Capacity system to be capable of only sending e-mail, and not receiving e-mail, complete
the following configuration procedure:
1. To prevent the sendmail daemon from starting up again when your system reboots, edit
the /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs file, changing the value of SENDMAIL_SERVER to
0:
vi /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs
#########################################
# Mail configuration. See sendmail(1m) #
#########################################
#
# BSD’s popular message handling system
#
# SENDMAIL_SERVER: Set to 1 if this is a mail server
# and should run the sendmail deamon.
# SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME: If this is not a mail server, but a
# client being served by another
# system, then set this variable to
# the name of the mail server system
# name so that site hiding can be
# performed.
#
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
2. To immediately stop the server from receiving e-mail, kill the active sendmail daemon by
executing the following command:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
Testing E-Mail Transmission of the Asset Report
NOTE: The following procedure assumes your Instant Capacity system is capable of sending
internet e-mail.
Execute the following command to send your asset report, by e-mail, to HP:
/usr/sbin/icapnotify <reply_address>
The specified reply_address should receive an acknowledgment e-mail message from HP
confirming the receipt of your asset report. Use an e-mail client to verify the acknowledgement
e-mail message from HP to the reply_address.
