# Email alerts are disabled by default. If you don't want to use them, no further action is needed.
# If email alerts are enabled, make sure to configure your system's email service (e.g., Mutt, Mail, Postfix, Sendmail, or an SMTP relay service like Gmail).
# This script uses "mutt" email service by default. Adjust accordingly if you use another service.
# If emails are enabled, I recommend increasing the 'sleep' time (line 98). This will send an alert every time trunk-recorder fails to restart. (If set to 120 seconds, you could get an email every 2 minutes)
