Email Notifications of Events NOT Working...

I am using Oracle 9.2.0.1 on IBM AIX 5.1L

I created a EVENT which says that "whenever my ARCHIVE destination is
FULL" email the DBA.......but I DO NOT get any such emails from OMS -
wonder why. Also, when I create an event it shows status as
REGISTERED.

Can anyone help me out on this....? I also tried Metalink Note:
74269.1 which tests to see if SMTP works or not.....and I DO receive
the email from the command line ....but it somehow does NOT work with
OMS....? Can anyone help me out....?

THANKS!

Does the email test within OEM work? (Go to your account's preferences and
look for the "test" button on the notifications tab, email preferences.)

Look in the OMS logs (oms.nohup) for any error messages that might help in
identifying the problem. OEM email can be a real bitch to configure
sometimes, and the manual test is only one step in figuring it out.

It might help if you identified the mail server.

Thanks Jeff.

I DID try TEST and it works great.....I do receive the TEST email from
within the OEM....

Here is sample TEST emial I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sampleEvent
Target Name : testnode.us.oracle.com
Target Type : Node
Node Name : testnode.us.oracle.com
Status : CRITICAL

abcd
This is a sample notification output from Oracle Enterprise Manager
sent at Tue Oct 28 15:32:36 MST 2003
CRITICAL
Oct 28 2003 08:32:36 AM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A quick question:
In above sample test email...it shows Target Name and Node Name as
"testnode.us.oracle.com" BUT this is NOT my target name,,,,nor my NODE
Name.....
Do u think that could be the reasone...and if yes ....How can I change
it to mines....?

THANKS!
