IPS blocking it's own snort url?

9.105-9

Running Web Proxy and IPS.

When I click the url in an IPS alert email I immediately get another alert email about that being blocked.  I can't get to any of the snort docs on the rules.  Here's the alert:

Intrusion Prevention Alert

An intrusion has been detected. The packet has been dropped automatically.
You can toggle this rule between "drop" and "alert only" in WebAdmin.

Details about the intrusion alert:
