Why Sophos do not have an email alert mechanism for admin logins to the appliance?

Hi Zac,

you will need to create a features request in the features/ideas forum if you want you idea to be addressed and prioritised.

This feature got implemented with MR4.

Hi LuCar,

I reviewed all those settings but could not find anywhere that indicated an Admin had logged in. I changed my settings and logged out then back in and did not receive a notification. Hence my suggestion to add the request in the features forum.

Rechecking for the settings I have obviously missed. I failed a login and did not receive a mail message. Yes, I have tested the send mail function.

Further testing results.

I restarted my XG from the GUI and received the normal external network interfaces have come up, nothing about the XG being restarted.

Ian

More testing - looks like the notification emails might not like using the external mail server even though the daily reports and the test mail do. If I look at the mail report I see there is 10 messages sent, but I only received 1. Also there is an unknown mail source.

Hi,

strange result. Some messages eventually were scanned and delivered, but took days, others in minutes. 

I changed the mail server settings in the XG notifications from STARTTLS to SSL/TLS and now all messages are flowing after being scanned.
