Will it affect my AIX LPAR security, when i set up email alerts on AIX server.
Hello,
I've set up email alerts on AIX Servers. so that i can get email notifications (via mail relay server) when ever there is abnormal behavior.
for example
1) my script monitors CPU/disk/memory etc... when it reaches high water ark, it will send an email alert.
2) disk usage alerts
3) errpt output to my email
4) syslog events..etc
will it affect my AIX LPAR system security because of this ? i mean mail relay server is not unix based.
note: we do not have any kind of security scanner / anti-virus software on LPARs.
thanks,

log::dispatch::email
Log::Dispatch::Email(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Log::Dispatch::Email(3)
NAME
Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email
SYNOPSIS
package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender
use Log::Dispatch::Email;
use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );
sub send_email
{
my $self = shift;
my %p = @_;
# Send email somehow. Message is in $p{message}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email. Implementing a
subclass simply requires the code shown in the SYNOPSIS with a real implementation of the "send_email()" method.
CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
o subject ($)
The subject of the email messages which are sent. Defaults to "$0: log email"
o to ($ or @)
Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email addresses. Required.
o from ($)
A string containing an email address. This is optional and may not work with all mail sending methods.
o buffered (0 or 1)
This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is given or whether it stores them up and sends them all at once.
The default is to buffer messages.
METHODS
o send_email(%p)
This is the method that must be subclassed. For now the only parameter in the hash is 'message'.
o flush
If the object is buffered, then this method will call the "send_email()" method to send the contents of the buffer and then clear the
buffer.
o DESTROY
On destruction, the object will call "flush()" to send any pending email.
