Message from firewall about No PSD-WATCH running

I am getting the following e-mail from the firewall some time after a restart.  What is PSD-Watch and does it have any impact on e-mail?

TIA, Tom

  • Hi Thomas, 

    psd-watch is the programm which monitors the portscan detection logfile and send an email notification if a portscan is detected.

    To make sure this programm is always running, it is monitored by our selfmonitoring daemon wich starts it if it isn't running.

    psd-watch has no impact with the smtp proxy, except it uses the MTA do send email.

    I hope that anwsers you question, 
    if not, letmeknow.

    greetings from germany

  • Very cool.

    PSD:  Port scan detection, makes sense.

    The self monitoring feature is one of the best selling points of ASL.

    Thanks for the response Gert, and hello from USA.
