+#  It also presumes that you have a functioning mail system on
+#  the maching running RADIUS.  You will need to check that the
+#  "mail" command exists, and sends mail to the address below, e.g.:
+#
+#     echo test | mail -s "Testing" $MAILTO

+#  If you receive the message, then enable MAILTO.  Otherwise, fix
+#  your mail system so that it delivers mail.

 #  Allow "radiusd_safe -X" for testing the radiusd_safe functionality.
