That is explaining the syntax of the command - what options are
available and what bits can go where.   It's not intended as a literal
string to be placed in the snmptrapd.conf file as is.

The simplest form would probably be:

   traphandle  default  /usr/local/bin/traptoemail  [email protected]

That should send an email message to "[email protected]"
for every trap that arrives, regardless of what that trap actually represents.

The "TRAPOID" token is an alternative to "default", used for selecting
special handling for particular traps.    The -f and -s options are used
to configure exactly how email should be sent.
   But to start with, I'd suggest you try with the simple example above.

That's good.

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

See above

I'd then delete the rest of the file - all of the directives are missing
essential parameters.
   Don't worry about them yet - start with *just* the two lines listed
above, and get that working first.  Then you can start experimenting
with other formats, and additional trap handles.
