Alert Recipient Email Address |

In the Alert Recipient Email Address field, enter an email address to receive warning messages that the Vocera Voice Server can issue. The Vocera Voice Server sends alert messages to notify you of significant system events, such as low disk space and cluster failovers. For a list of possible alerts, see Sending Email Alert Messages. This address also serves as the destination for all email messages incorrectly addressed to badge users. These email failures are usually caused by an incorrect Vocera user ID on the subject line of the message. You can optionally re-route the email by correcting the subject line and resending the message. If this field is empty, you won't get any alerts, and email that fails to reach recipients is returned to the sender. Important: Make sure the address you enter in this
field:
Otherwise, non-deliverable email will loop between the two addresses until either the mail server or the Vocera Voice Server crashes. See Incoming Mail Settings for information about specifying the Vocera Mailbox Login ID. |

For details about when the server closes a log file, see Working with Server Log Files. Mail only when server restarts sends the most recently closed log file immediately after the server restarts; consequently, the system mails only the single log file documenting the cause of the server restart. |
