Configuring Alert Emails in FortiMail

 Configuring Alert Recipients

Before the FortiMail unit can send alert email messages, we have to create a recipient list. 

To configure recipients of alert email messages

1. Go to Log and Report > Alert Email > Configuration.
2. Select New and add the email address of a recipient.
3. Enter the email address of the individual you wish to receive the alert.
4. Select Create. 

   You can repeat that process to add a variety of email addresses.

 Configuring Alert Categories

Now we will need to specify what events will cause your FortiMail unit to send an alert email message to the individuals you placed on the list previously.

To select event that trigger an alert email message

1. Go to Log and Report > Alert Email > Category. 
2. Enable whatever settings you desire. 
3. Select Apply.
