I wouldn't rely on it without testing it.  I always simulate a failure
on the array and make sure that it sends, and I receive, the e-mail that
it generates.  YOu can simulate a drive failure, and recover from it, using
"mdadm --manage" with the "--fail", "--remove" and "--add" options, in that
order.

Thanks,
Sean
