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, it
is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer may
fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
