[Bigsister-general] mailing alarms on Windows

["Kai Schaetzl" <suppressed>]

I've been using bs as a report/display server on Win2k3 for at least two 
years now, but didn't have the necessity to get alarms mailed to me by 
email. So, I didn't care about setting up this part correctly. Now I want 
to have at least a specific alarm mailed to me and am only partly 
successful: smtpmail doesn't send me the alarm

I added the following as a default on top of bs_event_configurator.cfg :

*.* mailhost=127.0.0.1 suppressed

However, when the alarm is raised I don't get a mail. Event log shows:
1. running: e:\Perl\bin\\perl.exe; perl \Server\bigsis\bin\smtpmail 
"suppressed".
2. smtpmail: starting up.

Nothing after that. When I run it manually as "perl bin/smtpmail address" 
from the bigsis directory I get "no mailhost". Doing "perl bin/smtpmail -h 
localhost address" or just "perl bin/smtpmail -h localhost" gives me the 
same "no mailhost". Not sure if both problems are related at all since 
this "no mailhost" problem is not reported when run by bsmon.

Thanks,

Kai
