What do you mean by pool of smtp server?
We create pool for VIP right, same way we have to create pool for smtp servers. so that it will monitor & update the status to
user_alert.conf
file. This is for monitoring purpose of smtp_pool
Do you mean to create fill the smtp section with the server name, not create a pool in F5 for lb. ---> update the smtp server here "System ›› Configuration : Device : SMTP ›› New SMTP Configuration"
