Enabling Security Event E-mail Notification

In order to receive logs and alerts by e-mail, you must provide your e-mail information in the
E-Mail subheading:
• Turn e-mail notification on. Check this box if you wish to receive e-mail logs and alerts from
the gateway.
• Send alerts and logs by email. Enter the name or IP address of your ISP's outgoing (SMTP)
mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You may be able to find this information in the
configuration menu of your e-mail program. Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts
are sent. This e-mail address will also be used as the From address. If you leave this box blank,
log and alert messages will not be sent via e-mail.
• Send alert immediately. Check a box if you would like immediate notification of a significant
security event, such as a known attack, port scan, or attempted access to a blocked site.
• Send logs according to this schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly, Daily,
Weekly, or When Full.
