# Email Notification Contract

The Email Notification provider transfers event and alert information collected by the Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Expert by way of email, to the local SMTP server that was specified in the Notification Configuration window.

An Email Notifcation Contract binds a set of criteria to an email address. Creating a Email Notification Contract also creates a Contract ID which can be used by the ssde CLI interface to display and delete contracts.

You can add email recipients or modify existing email recipients using the Email Notification screen.

To add or modify email notification contract(s):

1. Click the Notification tab from the Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Expert main menu.

2. Click the Email Notification link.
   A list of current email recipients is displayed.
