Answer 1

You need to configure following args

--mail_from  <arg>                 Mail from field
--mail_password  <arg>             Mail password (for auth)
-m, --mail_server  <arg>           Address of the mailserver in server:port format
--mail_ssl                         Mail SSL
--mail_user  <arg>                 Mail user (for auth)

An email will be sent to owner (or owners if they were provided in a comma, separated form see: sendNotification() and only for following occasion:

• JobRemoved
• JobDisabled
• JobRetriesExhausted

To get information about the success you need to add this case.
