Send to this e-mail address

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.

You can specify that logs are automatically sent to the specified e-mail address with these options:

Send alert immediately

Check this box if you would like immediate notification of a significant security event, such as

Day for sending log

Time for sending log

Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.

If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified
period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent,
the log is cleared from the firewall’s memory. If the firewall cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer may fill up. In this case, the firewall overwrites the log and discards its contents.
