What is nsmailEntityDescr?

This object holds a free-text description of the Netscape Mail Server entity being monitored. It gives an admin a human-readable label to identify which mail server instance a set of statistics belongs to, especially useful when polling several servers. For example, it might return a string like "Netscape Messaging Server 3.6 - mail relay".
