Properties

Name
Specifies a symbolic name for the log receiver. (Identifier)
IPAddress
IP address or DNS name of an SMTP server that accepts emails for the given address(es).
Port
TCP port of the SMTP server. Changing it to 465 will NOT make the connection encrypted - it will simply not work. (Default: 25)
Recipient
Who to send email to. To send to multiple recipients, configure an alias (aka mailing list) on the server and send to that.
Sender
The sender email address to use for log event emails.
Identity
Customizes how the system identifies itself to the SMTP server when issuing the EHLO command. Preferrably, this should be the DNS name of the sending interface, as the server may be configured to require it. By default, the numeric IP address of the sending interface is used. (Optional)
XMailer
Specifies a custom X-Mailer email header string. The X-Mailer header field is typically used to identify the name and version number of the software that generated the email. (Optional)

Activation
Select how events trigger an alert. (Default: SingleEvent)

Emails will never be sent more often than this. Additional alerts will be sent in the next email. (Default: 30)
