Creating an Email Alert Response

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the Secure Firewall Management Center can reverse-resolve its own IP address. Some mail servers may perform reverse DNS lookups to verify the sender's identity as a measure to prevent spam and unauthorized access.

Procedure

1

Choose Policies > Actions > Alerts.

2

From the Create Alert drop-down menu, choose Create Email Alert.

3

Enter a Name for the alert response.

4

In the To field, enter the email addresses where you want to send alerts, separated by commas.

5

In the From field, enter the email address that you want to appear as the sender of the alert.

6

Next to Relay Host, verify the listed mail server is the one that you want to use to send the alert.


 

To change the email server, click Edit (edit icon).

7

Click Save.
