I tried to follow the instructions for setting up SMTP from this documentation link:
http://support.hyperic.com/display/DOC/Configuring+HQ+Server+for+SMTP+Server
But the description does not complete match the jboss-services-events.xml, so I tried a few things. In some cases, upon an alert I can see in the server.log file that the server couldn't send an email and I know my setup is wrong...But in other cases (like the configuration setup below), it doesn't complain, however the email never arrives.
Since I am using the Amazon AWS AMI with a pre-installed HQ server, I have no root password of the instance and I can't peek in the var/log/mail* files to see what happens with the alert-emails...
Anyway, any suggestions on what's wrong with the below SMTP setup?
<server>
<!-- ==================================================================== -->

<mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
