I do have "Limit notifications" checked on the Management - Notifications - Global tab. The help text says "Sophos UTM has sensible default values to limit the number of notifications sent per hour."
However, every time my UTM detects a portscan, I get at least four or five email alerts, even if the attack lasts only a second or two. More often, I'll receive a dozen or so alerts for a single attack, but yesterday morning took the cake, generating over ninety(!) WARN-856 email alerts for a portscan that lasted a little under 30 seconds.
Is this really what the system considers "sensible," or is something broken?
