How to set up email alert in Sophos Anti Virus for Mac (Preferences > Messaging)

robhadi

Hello,

how does the email alert in Sophos Anti Virus Home Edition for Mac work? There are only three fields for Recipient, Outgoing Email Server and Sender.

There is no field for a port or for an authentication? What kind of email server is Sophos expecting. Does it work at all?

Thank you very much.

    Hello robhadi,

    a little bit pointless to make an email alert for a home edition without authentication

    the home edition is essentially the licensed product minus the management component (and a small change in AutoUpdate part). Alerting hasn't been written for the home edition. Personally I don't consider email alerting that important - it's most useful for unattended machines, but then you likely have a small network and perhaps some kind of mail server. 

    It is working if properly set up but I'm not aware of any logs. You could use nc as a q&d means to monitor the sending attempt though.
