Email Alerts

The Web Virus Email Alerts are emails that notify the administrator of incidents
when a virus has been blocked by the web security service. The email will contain
the following information:

The IP address of the request that left your organization.

The reason the requested file was blocked (malware name).

The full URL of the web request

You can specify a maximum of 5 different email addresses where you wish to
have alerts sent. If you require the alerts to be sent to any more addresses than
this, we recommend that you set up a group mailing address and then enter it into
the Administration Console.

To set Email Alerts:

1.

Click the Web Virus link on the Web Content tab.

2.

Click the “Email Alerts” link in the Notifications panel in the left hand
navigation. This will bring up the “E-mail Alerts” page.

3.

Select whether or not you want to be notified when a virus is blocked by
selecting “Yes” or “No” from the drop down box.

4.

Enter the email address (or addresses) you want notifications to be sent to in
the empty text fields provided.

5.

If you wish to throttle the number of email alerts you receive, click the box next
to the statement “Limit these alerts to”. Throttling will now be activated and
you must then select the number of alerts you wish to receive for the given
number of hours you specify. For example, you might decide that you only
want to receive a maximum of 3 email alerts in a 2-hour period.

6.

To save the settings and email addresses, click the “Save” button located at
the bottom of the screen.
