Description

This command sets or modifies contact information that is used by the email event notification facility.

Note: If you are starting the email event notification facility, the reply, contact, primary, and location parameters are required. If you are modifying contact information used by the email event notification facility, at least one of the parameters must be specified.

Remember: When considering e-mail addresses:

Alphanumeric characters and additionally underscore (_), at symbol (@), and dot (.) characters are permitted.
There must be exactly one @ character in the string, and the @ characters must not start or end the string.
A plus (+) character is permitted before the @ character.

These fields do not have to be set to start the email notification system, but if the new fields are set they are included in the email event notifications.
