+# email
+
+You need a working `sendmail` command for email alerts to work. Almost all MTAs provide a `sendmail` interface.
+
+netdata sends all emails as user `netdata`, so make sure your `sendmail` works for local users.
+
+email notifications look like this:

+
+## configuration
+
+To edit `health_alarm_notify.conf` on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`.
+
+You can configure recipients in [`/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/99d44b7d0c4e006b11318a28ba4a7e7d3f9b3bae/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L101).
+
+You can also configure per role recipients [in the same file, a few lines below](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/99d44b7d0c4e006b11318a28ba4a7e7d3f9b3bae/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L313).
+
+Changes to this file do not require netdata restart.
+
+You can test your configuration by issuing the commands:
+
+```sh
+# become user netdata
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+
+# send a test alarm
+/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test [ROLE]
+```
+
+Where `[ROLE]` is the role you want to test. The default (if you don't give a `[ROLE]`) is `sysadmin`.
