Well, --manage -m did not work, mdadm says:

mdadm: option m not valid in manage mode

mdadm - v1.12.0 - 14 June 2005 
That is the version I run as this is maintained by my OS vendor.

And I did test mdadm --manage -m before asking my first question.

Now mdadm --monitor --scan did not complain about my MAILADDR
line in /etc/mdadm.conf . But I would like to test it, and 
mdadm --manage -t is not allowed. How do I trigger a message?
