Handling FPS Mail Errors

This section defines how FPS is to handle the case where a mail file is specified but cannot be sent. This does not occur if the mail cannot be delivered. It only occurs if the mail file(s) cannot be found or if the mail server refuses to accept the message.

All of the information that FPS needs to do this is defined in a section headed by a single line in the FPS configuration file containing the text:

[FPS-No Mail]

Everything appearing after this line and before the start of another section is considered part of this section.

Prior to APS Version 4.0, this section was called [No Mail]. In Version 4, this was renamed to [FPS-No Mail]. The old name is still recognized and will be processed correctly, but a warning will be issued about the use of the deprecated name.

When such an error occurs, this setting indicates the file(s) to send via email. The actual error message can be included in the text using the message macro. Typically, this is used to notify an administrator that an error has occurred.

There is no guarantee that this mail can be sent either.
