ALARM-SMTP-BIND-ADDR <DNS-name> | <IP-address>
Defines the DNS name or IP address of the specific NonStop TCP/IP stack that MOMI should bind to when sending alarm EMAIL. The address specified here forces the 'source' address for the message.
Note that the address specified must be valid for the TCP/IP stack MOMI uses as specified by the keyword ALARM-SMTP-TCPIP-NAME. If the IP address is not valid for the TCP/IP stack MOMI uses to send the email, a failure to send occurs.
Some NonStop Systems use communication hardware which have multiple physical Ethernet ports controlled by a single NonStop process. For example, the TCP/IP CLIM has several physical Ethernet ports and all communication occurs through only one NonStop process, for example $ZTC0. By default, a TCP/IP listen on a TCP/IP stack process (again for example $ZTC0) would allow incoming connection on every physical Ethernet port in the CLIM and an outbound connection would use a path chosen by the system, which may not be desirable. The specification of a particular IP address (or DNS name) would limit and direct all communication to a single physical Ethernet card.
Technically, this keyword causes a socket level call to bind() after a socket is opened to force an association with IP address specified.
Example:
== alarm outbound email
== source IP address
