This tutorial will show you how to setup LinuxMCE to respond to events by Email. Example would be emailing a notification when a security sensor is tripped.
Step 1. Configure your mail settings.
Wizard > basic info > Email setup
The questions asked here are fairly straight forward if you know the correct answers. if you are unsure i would suggest trying to configure pop/smtp account on a computer at home first with the same settings. remember your smtp server must be able to authenticate with a username and password.
use the test button to confirm your mail settings are correct.
Step 2.
Home > My Devices > Core > DCERouter > General Info Plug-in > send command to device > Send Mail
test directly in command line:
Shell>mail -v youremailhere Subject: asdf just add a period and enter after this line . EOT Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.
see if postfix is running
