Additional text message to add to the beginning of the e-mail subject:
Allows you to add a text string to the beginning of the e-mail subject for daily statistics and alarm e-mails. If you are receiving daily statistics or alarm e-mails from many syslog daemons, it can be useful to include a way of identifying which syslog daemon the e-mail came from.
Simply add a line of text that best describes the name or location of the syslog daemon. The text will be added to the beginning of the e-mail subject.
For example:
A normal max message alarm e-mail subject line looks like this:
Syslog Alarm: 16000 messages received this hour.
If you set the MailAdditionalSubjectText setting to "[London]", the alarm subject e-mail will look like this:
[London] Syslog Alarm: 16000 messages received this hour.
A space is automatically added after the text to separate it from the existing subject text.
