27.4 SMTP Error Messages

If there are difficulties in sending e-mail the following error message appears.
390
DESCRIPTION
Alerts are real-time notifications that are sent as soon as an event, such as a DoS
attack, system error, or forbidden web access attempt occurs. Enter the E-mail
address where the alert messages will be sent. Alerts include system errors, attacks
and attempted access to blocked web sites. If this field is left blank, alert messages
will not be sent via E-mail.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the message-exchange standard for the
Internet. SMTP enables you to move messages from one e-mail server to another.
Select the check box to activate SMTP authentication. If mail server authentication
is needed but this feature is disabled, you will not receive the e-mail logs.
Enter the user name (up to 31 characters) (usually the user name of a mail
account).
Enter the password associated with the user name above.
This drop-down menu is used to configure the frequency of log messages being
sent as E-mail:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Hourly
• When Log is Full
• None.
If you select Weekly or Daily, specify a time of day when the E-mail should be sent.
If you select Weekly, then also specify which day of the week the E-mail should be
sent. If you select When Log is Full, an alert is sent when the log fills up. If you
select None, no log messages are sent.
Use the drop down list box to select which day of the week to send the logs.
Enter the time of the day in 24-hour format (for example 23:00 equals 11:00 pm) to
send the logs.
Select the checkbox to delete all the logs after the ZyXEL Device sends an E-mail of
the logs.
The ZyXEL Device sends a log to an external syslog server.
Click Active to enable syslog logging.
Enter the server name or IP address of the syslog server that will log the selected
categories of logs.
Select a location from the drop down list box. The log facility allows you to log the
messages to different files in the syslog server. Refer to the syslog server manual
for more information.
Select the categories of logs that you want to record.
Select log categories for which you want the ZyXEL Device to send E-mail alerts
immediately.
