Email Notification Messages Automatically

You can have IWSVA automatically notify the administrator (or designated others) whenever it detects a suspicious file or blocks a URL request. You can also have it notify the requesting client in a message displayed on his or her Web browser.

To set up email notifications:

  1. From the main IWSVA menu, click Notifications, and then Send notification to: in the upper right corner.

  2. In the Sender's email address field, type the email address that you want to appear in the message From: field.

  3. In the Send notifications to  field, type the email address of the user(s) who will receive the notification. Use standard Internet format (user@place.com) and delimit multiple recipients with a comma.

  4. In the SMTP server name field, type the host name or IP address of the mail server you will use to deliver the message, and then the port.  If the server is ESMTP, be sure to check EHLO at the bottom of the page.

  5. Specify how often IWSVA should check the mail queue. The default value is one minute. IWSVA will relay notification messages in its queue to the mail server for delivery based upon the interval set here.

  6. Finally, click Save to update your settings.
