but can you reply to the points I have raised.for 1, i am sorry i am not much familiar with it i.e. just using it. about 2, since ssmpt is smtp client, i understand just setting smtp gateway as mailhub and the smtp gateway will take care of the rest.
regarding 3, i understand it is configurable in user_alert.conf.
Also is there any thing defined in the GUI for user_alert.conf? Ididnt find it... have you seen this one?
