The mail.pl script is an alternative to /bin/mail for sending email 
notifications. It offers a configurable "from" address, primary SMTP 
server, and backup SMTP server.

It's a perl script which requires Net::SMTP. (perl -MCPAN -e 'install 
Net::SMTP')

We've had the problem of OpenNMS driving up our load balance and causing 
sendmail on the local machine to refuse to send messages. So being able 
to send notifications via SMTP was useful. Being able to control the 
"from" header allows for easier filtering in your mail client as well.

Though you are a little screwed if both your primary and secondary SMTP 
servers are inaccessible. :-)

Here's a sample config for replacing the "email" notification command. 
You could do something similar for "pagerEmail" by replacing "-email" 
with "-pemail."

         <command>
                 <name>email</name>
                 <execute>/path/to/mail.pl</execute>
                 <comment>for sending email via SMTP</comment>
                 <argument streamed="false">
                         <switch>-email</switch>
                 </argument>
                 <argument streamed="false">
			 <substitution>[e-mail]</substitution>
                 </argument>
                 <argument streamed="false">
                         <switch>-subject</switch>
                 </argument>
                 <argument streamed="false">
                         <substitution>mx1.mycompany.com</substitution>
                 </argument>
                 <argument streamed="false">
                         <substitution>mx2.mycompany.com</substitution>
                 </argument>
                 <argument streamed="true">
                         <switch>-tm</switch>
                 </argument>
         </command>
