47	47	FOAM will send mail to the FOAM admins and to experimenters when it does various things, such as when a sliver is created, approved, and deleted. You can generally skim these messages to make sure they don't contain anything unusual, and otherwise, archive them in case you ever need them later. There's also a nightly FOAM cron job that reports on "pending" slivers, i.e. anything that wasn't automatically approved; those generally reflect an experimenter who's waiting for resources, so please try to act on them expeditiously.

	49	FOAM has two places where e-mail is configured: The site.admin.email setting, which shows up in getversion output, and the configuration for administrative e-mail. http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OpenFlow/FOAM#Othersettings includes instructions for changing the former, and `foamctl config:setup-email` is a simple way to change the latter if you need to.

49	51	We have some [wiki:OpenFlow/FOAM#Initialconfiguration guidelines for FOAM configuration], which we encourage GENI sites to follow. If you're a rack admin, these should already be done as part of the rack setup process, but you can check for yourself if you're curious.
