You can configure email alerts for log types, such as System, Config, HIP Match, Correlation, Threat, WildFire Submission, and Traffic logs. For each log type, you can set up separate email profiles, allowing you to send notifications to different email servers based on the log type. To ensure high availability, you can define multiple servers (up to four) within a single profile. If one server fails or becomes unreachable, the system attempts to send the alert through the next available server.
It is a best practice to enable transport layer security (TLS). This requires the firewall to authenticate with the email server before the firewall relays email to the server. Using TLS helps prevent malicious activities, such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) relay attacks. Additionally, TLS helps to prevent email spoofing, which is commonly used in phishing attacks.
