   3. Forward mails as events to Event Console.
      

      1. Forwarding Method: Here you can select if you want to send the events either to the EC or to a remote syslog host. If you want to send the events to the local EC, we would recommend using the spooling mechanism.
         By using the spooling mechanism, the check will store all collected events in one file in ~/var/mkeventd/spool.
