Newbie needing help e-mailing traps

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm fairly new to Linux,
Nagios, and net-snmp. I am looking for something that I can send SNMP
traps to and it will e-mail me when it gets the trap.

I have net-snmp installed on my Fedora 9 box. I understand that I need
snmptrapd for what I'm looking to do. I found the "traptoemail" script
and put this line in my snmptrapd.conf file:

traphandle TRAPOID|default
/usr/local/bin/traptoemail [-f FROM] [-s SMTPSERVER]b ADDRESSES

I'm just really confused on how to put it all together and make it
actually work.

I have read a lot of the documentation and the wiki tutorials for
snmptrapd, but I'm royally confused. Does anyone have a guide for
dummies or a step-by-step guide that I can follow?

Here is my snmptrapd.conf file:

###########################################################################

# Stuff I added

authCommunity log,execute,net public

traphandle TRAPOID|default /usr/local/bin/traptoemail [-f FROM] [-s
SMTPSERVER]b ADDRESSES

# FROM defaults to "root"

# SMTPSERVER defaults to "localhost"

###########################################################################

# SECTION: Trap Handlers

#

# Here we define what programs are run when a trap is

# received by the trap receiver.

# traphandle: When traps are received, a program can be run.

# When traps are received, the list of configured trap

# handles is consulted and any configured program is run.

# If no handler is found, any handler with "default" as the

# traphandle type is run instead. The information contained

# in trap is passed to the program via standard input (see

# the snmptrapd.conf manual page for details).

#

# arguments: oid|"default" program args

traphandle

###########################################################################

# SECTION: Output formatting for traps received.

#

# Output from snmptrapd is formatted according to the

# rules defined by the formatting configuration directives.

# format1: How SNMPv1 traps are formatted.

# See the snmptrapd.conf manual page for format string details.

# arguments: formatstring

format1

# format2: How SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 traps are formatted.

# See the snmptrapd.conf manual page for format string details.

# arguments: formatstring

format2

Thanks!
