Alert Email
Use Alert Email to configure the FortiLog unit to monitor logs for specific alert

encountered. You can apply these settings to the local FortiLog unit and selected
registered devices. FortiLog will also monitor its own log as well.

Server
Set the mail server options so the FortiLog unit can connect to and use the SMTP mail
facilities to alert a user of any attack issues. You must configure at least one DNS
server. The FortiLog unit uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server,
and must look up this name on your DNS server.
To set the mail server options go to System > Alert Email > Server. Set the SMTP
mail server connection information for sending alert messages to specified recipients.
