Thank you Neil. I guess my question is, can I invoke Mozilla mail or KMail or
something that's easy to configure to get my warnings?
The "fileserver" that I want to monitor with mdadm isn't set up as a mail
server. And, frankly, I'm completely baffled about how to configure sendmail to
just act as an intermediary for sending and receiving mail from an outside
Internet Service Provider. Is there a simple mail client -- even one that's just
text based (Pine?) that's easy to configure so that it will work with mdadm?
I'm not being lazy. I just don't want to become an expert in every aspect of
Linux services just to run a local file server.
Appreciate your thoughts.

No, you don't need to specify a program to send the mail. mdadm
already knows to use sendmail.
The --program option is to specify a program that can do other things
with alerts from mdadm. e.g. log them, page a sysadmin, send a
differently formatted email. etc.
