How do you change the default “From” e-mail address that Robot/ALERT uses?

Robot/ALERT creates its default “From” address as Robot.ALERT@domainname, where domainname is the domain name that was entered for option 12—Change TCP/IP domain information—for the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) command.

You can change the “From” address in Robot/ALERT by doing the following:

  1. Determine which vendor name Robot/ALERT is using.
  2. Enter the following commands from a command prompt:

    ADDLIBLE RBTALRLIB

    CALL RBA915

  3. Add a record.
  4. On the Vendor Record panel that displays, enter the e-mail address that Robot/ALERT should use (instead of Robot.ALERT@domainname).
  5. Note: For each vendor, you can choose either a specific e-mail address, or the POP3 e-mail address associated with the vendor.
