Pritty sure the only file you need to modify is :-

/usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml

and modify

and I think you need a dpnctl stop mcs and dpnctl start.

I would check all this in the install guide you can download from Powerlink if do not have, look under "Email Home" it has configuration details for SMTP.

Changing /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml will work. You will need to restart the mcs though.
