Email forwarding - Total Access 908e (3rd Gen)
Is there a way to send a test message after you turn on the email forwarding utility?

I assume you're referring to the ability to send email as an event alert?
- Create a loopback address (can be any private /32)
- Probe it with a ping probe
- Track the probe
- Set up email if track or probe fails
- Shut down the interface
- Wait for mail

Probably, but not a more thorough way of making sure you'll get an actual email in the event of a failure and seeing what it reports.

Almost any changes to an interface will cause an alert thereby generating an email.
You can use a T1 loopback or plug the second Ethernet port into a switch,
If the ports are enabled both of these actions should generate an email.
