Email Notification allows you to send an alert email to the email receiver when viruses are detected in email attachments. Use the Email Notification page to customize the tag and notification message that are displayed in the alert email.
1. Click Security Services > Anti-Virus > Email Notification.
The Email Notification window opens. The following information is displayed:
• Email Notification Status: Shows if the Notify or Notify + Destruct File action is enabled or disabled for the SMTP or POP3 protocol.
– If you choose Notify as the preventive action, the original email and an alert email are sent to the email receiver.
– If you choose Notify + Destruct File as the preventive action, the infected files are deleted and the original email and an alert email are sent to the email receiver.
• From Email Address: The email address used to send the alert email.
• SMTP Server: The IP address or Internet name of the SMTP server.
